Preparing REALTORS® for the Mandatory Appraisal Reporting Changes

Expert guidance on the upcoming appraisal changes from nationally recognized REALTOR®, speaker, and bestselling author Leigh Brown.

The mandatory transition to the Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6, taking effect November 2, 2026, represents one of the most significant updates to residential appraisal reporting in more than two decades. While appraisers will adopt new reporting standards, REALTORS® will be on the front lines answering questions, managing expectations, and helping buyers and sellers navigate the changing appraisal process.

As interest in these appraisal changes continues to grow, REALTOR® associations across the country have begun reaching out to Leigh Brown for practical guidance that helps members understand what is changing, what it means for their business, and how to communicate with confidence throughout the transition.

Why This Presentation Matters

The upcoming appraisal changes extend well beyond revised reporting forms. They represent a meaningful shift in how residential property information is documented, communicated, and understood throughout a transaction.

Whether your members are working with buyers, sellers, lenders, or appraisers, they'll need a practical understanding of the new requirements, common misconceptions, and the questions clients are likely to ask.

This presentation is designed specifically for REALTORS®—focusing on the practical implications of the transition rather than the technical mechanics of completing an appraisal.

What Your Members Will Learn

During this live presentation, Leigh will discuss:

• What is changing with the mandatory appraisal reporting transition
• How the new requirements may influence residential transactions
• The relationship between UAD 3.6, USPAP, and today's appraisal process
• Questions buyers and sellers are likely to ask
• Best practices for communicating with appraisers throughout the transaction
• What belongs in an effective appraisal packet
• Practical communication strategies that help REALTORS® build client confidence

Every presentation includes live audience Q&A, allowing members to discuss real-world situations and receive practical guidance.
