Velox Valuations, a trusted leader in real estate appraisal and a leading valuations franchisor, has officially begun providing UAD 3.6 appraisals across the markets it serves nationwide, positioning its network to support lenders and real estate professionals—with the added benefit of working directly with the company’s certified appraisers—as the industry transitions to the new reporting standard.
UAD 3.6 Is Here: How Forward-Thinking Lenders Are Strengthening Their Appraisal Strategy
As the mortgage industry transitions to UAD 3.6, lenders are facing more than a compliance update—they are navigating a fundamental shift in how appraisal data is structured, delivered, and leveraged.
For lenders who actively manage their own appraiser panels and prioritize strong appraiser relationships, this moment represents a clear opportunity: to modernize, strengthen, and scale their valuation strategy with the right partner.
The Advantage Of A Well-Managed Appraiser Panel
Lenders who take a proactive approach to managing their appraisal panel already understand the value of consistency in reporting, direct communication with appraisers, and accountability throughout the valuation process.
UAD 3.6 raises expectations across all three. Success will depend on working with appraisers who are not only trained but supported by systems and infrastructure built specifically for this new standard.
The lenders best positioned for this transition are not rebuilding their approach—they are strengthening it with partners who can bring additional scale, structure, and readiness.
Where The Right Appraisal Partner Changes The Game
This is where alignment with a true appraisal firm becomes a strategic advantage.
Velox Valuations has built its model around employee appraisers and dedicated franchise owners operating within a unified national system, allowing lenders to engage directly with certified professionals in any market while maintaining consistency across their panel.
For lenders, that translates into immediate access to UAD 3.6–ready appraisers nationwide, direct engagement with valuation experts, and standardized reporting across markets.
Velox is already completing UAD 3.6 assignments, is among the first in the country, and has invested heavily in preparing its employee appraisers through structured training, real-world implementation, and software alignment, ensuring lenders are working with a partner that is operating in the future state of appraisal delivery.
Employee Appraisers, Backed By A National Platform
Velox leverages a model built on W-2 employee appraisers and supported franchise owners, all operating within a unified national system designed to deliver consistency, accountability, and operational oversight.
This structure allows lenders to work within a framework where appraisers are aligned to shared standards, processes, and expectations across markets.
For appraisers, it creates a career path within a modern valuation platform, supported by training, technology, and a national network.

Strengthening Your Panel With Scalable Talent
One of the biggest challenges lenders face is scaling their panel without sacrificing quality. UAD 3.6 only amplifies that challenge.
By integrating with a national appraisal firm, lenders can strategically bolster their existing panel with top-tier appraisers who are fully trained on evolving standards and backed by centralized technology and operational support.
Velox’s national footprint, spanning more than two dozen states, allows lenders to extend their reach while maintaining consistency across markets. You can explore current coverage here.
