Mercury Network's built-in review rules help ensure that the appraisal passes underwriting without requiring as many revision requests as would otherwise be necessary. And not only does it include pre-defined review rules that are applied to the appraisal before delivery, but it also allows you to customize those rules to accommodate the typical requirements of your underwriters. To customize Mercury's review rules for any appraisal type...
- In Mercury Network, click UARR.
- In the screen that appears, click the form type you wish to adjust in the Forms list on the left.
- From the review rules list on the right, check the box beside each rule you wish to apply to the appraisal type you selected.
- Then, click the Severity beside each rule you selected and indicate whether it is a Warning, Note, or Error.
- Errors prevent the appraisal from being delivered and issue a notice to the appraiser to fix the item.
- Warnings allow the appraiser to deliver the appraisal but first provide the appraiser with a warning about this item.
- Notes, like warnings, allow the appraiser to deliver the appraisal but first provide the appraiser with a comment about the item.
- Lastly, click the Message column beside each rule you selected and, if you wish, adjust the text that appears for the appraiser whenever the warning, error, or note appears in the review process.
- When finished, click Save to apply your changes and repeat the process for each additional form type you need to adjust.
At any later time, if you wish to restore Mercury's default review rules, just open the review rules for the desired form and click Restore in the upper left corner to confirm that you wish to restore the defaults.
