In order for Momentum to upload appraisals reports to the UCDP and generate SSRs for you, you must first have an established account with the UCDP, and then you must add Momentum as a "Lender Agent" to your UCDP account. Please see Freddie Mac's "Managing Lender Agents" and "Lender Agent Admin User Guide" for detailed information on adding Lender Agents to your UCDP account.
Once Momentum receives your business relationship request from the UCDP (you can find us there as "Momentum Appraisal Group"), we will accept the request and the connection will be established.
Note: Once Momentum has accepted your UCDP relationship invitation, you will need to add your Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Seller IDs (as applicable) to the new relationship.
In order for Momentum to upload appraisals reports to the EAD and generate SSRs for you, you must first have an established account with the EAD, and then you must add Momentum as a "Lender Agent" to your EAD account. Please see section 4.3 of FHA's "EAD Lender Admin Guide" for detailed information on adding Lender Agents to your EAD account.
Once Momentum receives your business relationship request on the EAD Portal (you can find us there as "Momentum Appraisal Group"), we will accept the request and the connection will be established.
Appraiser-Related Questions for Momentum | Back To Top
You can register to be considered for Momentum's panel at our Appraiser Registration site.
You can sign in to your account on Momentum's appraiser portal to maintain the information associated with your registration. However, certain aspects of this site are still being actively developed, and if you don't see a way to update a particular set of information through the interface then simply send an email to documentation@momentumweb.com and include any of the information or documentation you would like to update. Our Documentation Maintenance staff will update your account for you using the information you provide.
While we no longer generate a Registration ID for applicants through our current Appraiser Registration site, your Registration ID was (and is) used to specifically pinpoint your registration information so that the Momentum Registration staff can quickly look up any details regarding your account should you have any questions. Additionally, any documentation that you sent in while registering through our previous system is associated with your Registration ID. Momentum's newer and current system uses your email address to uniquely identify your account instead, but you may refer to either your email address or your Registration ID when contacting our Appraiser Registration department by email with questions about your account.
