# Why Appraisers Adopt UAD 3.6 Hybrid Appraisals

Posted by [Eric Tsai](https://blog.asteroom.com/author/eric-tsai) on June 24, 2026

Lenders and AMCs may be unsure of the best way to approach appraisers about completing hybrid appraisals.

![Hybrid Appraisal Benefits to Appraisers](https://blog.asteroom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Hybrid%20Appraisal%20Benefits%20to%20Appraisers.png?width=1535&height=1024&name=Hybrid%20Appraisal%20Benefits%20to%20Appraisers.png)

### How do I approach appraisers on my panel to complete hybrid appraisals?

Proprietary hybrid appraisals are used today in home equity. A hybrid appraisal panel will be 25-30% of the active traditional appraisal panel, with individual appraisers .

- **Candidates** - select 10-20 appraisers in your pilot markets who you want to form your hybrid appraisal panel, based on the analysis below
- **Business proposition** - present a proposal to provide 30-35 hybrid appraisals/month to these appraisers, with per report fees set at 66% of traditional appraisal (non-UAD 3.6)
- **Geo competency** - specify markets where appraisers should acquire competency in the next 1-3 months, to maximize coverage from individuals

### Preparation for approaching appraisers:

Here are some of the key information to gather to target and speaking with appraisers:

- **Business relationship** - rank the total volume, net fees, turn times and distance traveled for appraisers, and identify those that earn significant income from your bank
- **Performance** - rank the quality, timeliness, and revision rate of these appraisers
- **Compliance & disciplinary actions** - ensure the there are no outstanding issues, and the appraiser is not on any investor ‘Do Not Use’ and exclusionary lists
- **Business plan** - build a projection of how many additional orders you can route to these top appraisers, and the estimated hybrid-only fees you wish to pay
