Part 1: Understanding the New Zoning Laws

We’ll cover:
– How do these changes affect financing and appraisals
– Anticipated withdrawal of FNMA, FHLMC, VA, and FHA support
– The ripple effect on loan costs, appraisal qualifications, and closing timelines
– Why brokers and appraisers need to prepare for drastically shifting expectations
Part 2: Navigating the Lending and Valuation Challenges
Discover actionable strategies to guide buyers and sellers through this new landscape.
You’ll learn:
– How location-specific zoning impacts property value, even between houses on the same street
– Mapping boundary lines that influence buyer interest and value
– How to adjust MLS remarks and advertising to reflect rezoning implications
– Tactics for educating clients on appraisal delays and rising loan costs
This in-depth training is essential for professionals facing one of the most significant statewide changes in decades. Choose the session that fits your needs—or attend both to be fully prepared.
