?Cloud-based platform enhances appraiser productivity in a single, intuitive environment built for next generation of appraisal?

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First American Mortgage Solutions, LLC, a part of the First American family of companies, today announced that its ACI Sky? Workbench platform has been verified by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to support the Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6 specifications. UAD 3.6 appraisal reports will be required by the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) for new appraisal reports submitted to the Uniform Collateral Data Portal? (UCDP?) on and after Nov. 2, 2026.

?UAD 3.6 changes how appraisal data is captured, structured, and delivered,? said Todd McGowan, president of First American?s Lender Division. ?ACI Sky Workbench was built with input from hundreds of appraisers to help navigate that shift in one connected environment, from inspection through submission. Verification from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac gives appraisers confidence they can adopt Workbench now and move forward with a platform built for the next generation of appraisal reports, while also complying with the UAD 3.6 specifications.?

With this verification, ACI Sky Workbench is now listed on Fannie Mae?s Integrated Vendor List and Freddie Mac?s Software Providers List, giving appraisers a verified solution for completing UAD 3.6 assignments ahead of the November GSE mandate. UAD 3.6 introduces a more structured, data-first reporting framework designed to improve consistency, accuracy, and usability across the mortgage ecosystem. ACI Sky Workbench was built to support that transition with a modern workflow, delivering:

  • A cloud-based experience that unifies inspection, data entry, and report completion in one workflow
  • Integrated tools that support the full assignment lifecycle from property inspection through report submission
  • Ongoing enhancements shaped by appraiser feedback to improve flexibility, efficiency, and useability.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
