An MLO is reviewing procedures for a case where the person preparing the valuation would be paid more if the value is higher. What is the proper handling?

Correct Answer

A) 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
Remove the value-based compensation conflict
B
Withhold the valuation copy until closing if the applicant does not ask.
C
Apply the correct general concept to the wrong escrow analysis stage rather than the Valuation conflict of interest rule.
D
Ask the appraiser to ignore a condition issue so the loan can meet timing.

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".
