TROY, Michigan, September 14, 2022 (Newswire.com) – Dart Appraisal, a nationwide appraisal management company (AMC), announced today that it has acquired MaxVantage, a New Jersey based AMC. This acquisition further advances Dart Appraisal’s position as a leader in the AMC marketplace and builds upon the previous acquisitions of Valuation Management Group and USAMC.

“Acquiring MaxVantage allows us to continue to expand the quality service our clients expect from Dart Appraisal,” said Michael Dresden, President of Dart Appraisal. “We’ll be able to bolster our presence on the eastern seaboard, further expand our already strong appraiser panel, and provide more support by adding talented employees to our first-rate team.”

“Over the past 29 years, most of our growth has come organically, but we decided a few years ago that we would like to augment that growth through strategic acquisitions as well,” Dresden added. “MaxVantage checked all of the ‘boxes’ that we look for – they have a great reputation, a strong client base, and motivated, talented employees.”

MaxVantage was established as an AMC in 2009; the firm is led by Mark and Robyn Trimmer who have been in the appraisal business since 1988. The entire team at MaxVantage will be joining Dart Appraisal and will maintain an office location in New Jersey. The acquisition immediately enhances Dart’s already strong footprint on the East Coast, specifically in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

“We are extremely excited to join with our friends at Dart Appraisal,” said Mark Trimmer. “The combined company will enable us to better serve our clients as part of a larger organization. We believe the combined companies, and the expanded services it allows us to offer, will benefit our clients and employees. The culture at MaxVantage has always been to give exceptional service to our clients and to take good care of our employees and appraisers, and Dart shares that philosophy. For our current clients, I believe it will be business as usual!”

“With 29 years under our belt, Dart Appraisal continues to be a leader in the valuation industry,” said Darton Case, Dart Appraisal’s CEO. “We are proud of all we’ve accomplished so far and are excited about the increased growth and innovation yet to come.”

Dart Appraisal Supporting ACE + PDR for Freddie Mac – Eligible Loans https://www.dartappraisal.com/freddiemac-ace-pdr/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=freddiemac-ace-pdr Tue, 26 Jul 2022 15:29:58 +0000 https://www.dartappraisal.com/?p=6439 Dart Appraisal will now be supporting ACE+PDR for Freddie Mac. Learn more about this solution for eligible properties here.

DART APPRAISAL SUPPORTING ACE + PDR FOR FREDDIE MAC - ELIGIBLE LOANS

In 2017, Freddie Mac introduced Loan Product Advisor® (LPASM) automated collateral evaluation (ACE), an appraisal alternative, to save eligible borrowers time and money in the home-buying or refinance process. Fast forward to today, Freddie Mac has released a new extension of that solution: ACE+ PDR (automated collateral evaluation plus property data report). This product will continue to help borrowers and sellers to benefit from Freddie Mac-eligible loans that can be originated without an appraisal. 

Freddie Mac transitioned from offering  ACE appraisal waivers to offering ACE+ PDR  for cash-out refinances and certain no cash-out refinances. The lender will receive an LPA Feedback Certificate that indicates the loan is eligible for this offering. 

Greenlight – now that the loan is eligible for ACE+ PDR, what’s next? That’s where Dart Appraisal is here to help. Starting July 17, 2022, you can order the PDR through us. A nationwide panel of trained property data collectors using Freddie Mac’s PDR data set will be utilized to perform an on-site data collection and complete this report.  

What happens if the PDR reveals that the property is no longer eligible for the offer, or if an upgrade to an appraisal is required? No problem, Dart can assist with that as well. Instead of ordering a traditional appraisal, Freddie Mac may accept a hybrid appraisal on Form 70H or the appropriate appraisal report form that coincides with the property type. When a hybrid appraisal on Form 70H can be completed, the lender can place the order with Dart, and one of our experienced appraisers will utilize the data and photographs from the PDR to develop the opinion of market value and complete a hybrid appraisal. 

Appraisers completing a hybrid appraisal must disclose the identity of the property data collector within the report, and the original PDR must be included as an addendum. The data collection date of the PDR must also be on or before the effective date of the hybrid appraisal, and the effective date of the appraisal is the date the appraiser developed their opinion of market value. If the PDR data collection date is more than 12 months before the effective date of the hybrid appraisal, a new PDR will be required. Appraisers must follow all other Freddie Mac requirements in the Freddie Mac Single-Family Seller-Service Guide when completing the hybrid appraisal. 

Check out the Guide Bulletin for more details here: https://guide.freddiemac.com/app/guide/bulletin/2022-13

Ready to order your first PDR? Contact your Account Manager or sales@dartappraisal.com for pricing and turn times for this product today!
