A processor asks how to handle a file where the person preparing the valuation would be paid more if the value is higher. Which response is most accurate?

Correct Answer

C) Remove the value-based compensation conflict

Lines 215-219; 12 CFR 1026.42(d). Valuation compensation cannot depend on the value assigned, and conflicts must be addressed before reliance. Therefore, the correct response is "Remove the value-based compensation conflict".

Answer Options
A
Rely on sales practice rather than required verification, disclosure, or documentation.
B
Use a manager exception instead of the required federal mortgage rule.
C
Remove the value-based compensation conflict
D

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Lines 215-219; 12 CFR 1026.42(d). Valuation compensation cannot depend on the value assigned, and conflicts must be addressed before reliance. Therefore, the correct response is "Remove the value-based compensation conflict".
