PCV Murcor, a nationwide real estate valuations management company, is pleased to announce its addition as an approved service provider for data collection field services to support Fannie Mae’s value acceptance + property data.
The approval adds to PCV Murcor’s long-standing history of working with Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) in support of appraisal modernization initiatives. Approved service providers meet requirements for offering data collection field services, data collection technology, or integration to the property data API.
“Our approval as a property data collection service provider for Fannie Mae reinforces our long-standing partnership and helps us further our mission of making clients’ real estate needs happen through accountability, connectivity, and performance,” said PCV Murcor’s Senior Vice President of Operations David Schiffmayer. “We look forward to partnering with our clients and their customers by providing best-in-class data collection services and appraisals in support of industry appraisal modernization.”
Per Fannie Mae, the goals of the Value Acceptance + Property Data service are to provide efficiency in reducing appraisal fulfillment timelines, reduce bias, create more objective data, and address the lack of appraisers in the field.
When a lender receives a value acceptance + property data offer, they must obtain a property data collection (PDC) from an approved service provider to validate the property description and eligibility. A PDC report consists of a full interior and exterior inspection of the subject property. The data collection can be performed by a trained data collector and must adhere to Fannie Mae’s property data standard.
“We are proud to work with the GSEs in using innovative property data collection solutions to modernize and advance the appraisal industry. Advancements like this expand our ability to deliver service that is timely, professional, and high quality while easing the transaction for all parties involved,” said PCV Murcor’s Founder, President & CEO Keith Murray.
This process, which launched in early 2023, ensures that submissions meet Fannie Mae’s data standards faster and more accurately. It also provides the flexibility of transferring to the GSE’s loan program without the need for an additional product while meeting a borrower’s needs at a fraction of the cost of a traditional appraisal and completing the turnaround time in half.
“We are proud to work with the GSEs in using innovative property data collection solutions to modernize and advance the appraisal industry.
