How to Place a UAD 3.6 Order Form on Mercury Network®

Overview

As the industry transitions away from appraisal form numbers, the scope of work is now defined by several property characteristics. To support this, Mercury Network® has updated the data points captured during order creation. By following these steps, you can accurately place a UAD 3.6 order and link multiple valuation products to a single loan.
