What's the UAD and UMDP?
In a nutshell, the Uniform Mortgage Data Program (UMDP) is an initiative by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the FHA to collect better data, and the appraisal report will be one of the first fully electronic files coming into the system. (Check out Fannie Mae's site here.)
Appraisals will be submitted in MISMO XML format, and will be called the Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD). The “uniform” is mostly concerned with "standardized responses for key data fields.” That means in many fields you’ll be presented with choices limited to a picklist determined by Fannie and Freddie, rather than the free-form approach that you enjoy now. (Read our library of articles outlining the UAD and our solutions here.)
It will be the biggest change in how you fill out reports since the creation of the URAR decades ago. But, there's no need to worry because we'll make sure that you're fully ready for the deadline.
We're going on tour!
Even though the deadline is September 1st, clients are going to start asking for compliant appraisals well before then. And rejected appraisals would be a major headache. These workshops help you avoid all of that hassle.
Not a WinTOTAL user? That's OK.
Regardless of which formfiller you use, these four-hour courses are invaluable. Without them, you could easily spend days trying to sift through all of the regulatory information on your own. And you won’t find any other vendor going on a 28-city tour. We're going to go through the regulations themselves as well as the practical steps to get compliant.

Classes are going to be small, so seating is very limited. At only $79 per attendee, we expect them to sell out.

Platinum Partners
Ordinarily, Platinum Partners get free seminar seats. But the UAD is unusual. We've historically stayed out of "regulatory" courses. Being a software company, our specialty is software training, but our customers asked us to help them get training. So to do that, we're sending our lead instructor out on the road. Thanks in advance for understanding why this course isn't free.

Workshop details
All of the workshops will run from 9AM to 1PM.
Registration is only $79 per seat.
Call 1-800-ALAMODE to ask about group discounts.
Our lead instructor, Joel Baker, will teach the courses. He's well known for training thousands of appraisers.
