This isn’t about me.
This isn’t about which app you choose.
It’s about making sure you’re ready—before you don’t have a choice.
Here’s what’s real:
UAD 3.6 is coming fast.
It’s not a minor tweak. It’s a complete shift in how appraisal data is structured, transferred, and verified.
More than half of appraisers still aren’t using any inspection app or mobile data tool.
I’m not here to shame anyone.
But let’s be honest—if you’re relying on a clipboard, a tape measure, and a digital camera, you’re starting behind.
Not a little behind—way behind.
When UAD 3.6 rolls out, the learning curve to catch up is going to feel brutal if you don’t start practicing now.
And look, I don’t care which app you use.
I don’t care if it’s fancy or basic.
I don’t get anything out of recommending one over another.
All I care about is this:
Pick something. Try it for 30 days. Then reassess.
Because you don’t have to be first.
You don’t have to be perfect.
But you do have to start.
This isn’t about replacing your judgment or taking away your process—it’s about making sure you’re not left in the weeds when everything shifts.
You don’t have to love technology.
But you have to be ready to adapt.
