“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.
