FHFA DESKTOP APPRAISALS PERMANENT |
DONATE TO TOYS FOR TOTS TODAY |
SANFORD & GENERAL MEETINGS NOW AVAILABLE TO WATCH ON DEMAND |
|
The Federal Housing Finance Agency will accept appraisals conducted remotely—without the physical presence of an appraiser —starting in early 2022 for qualifying, Fannie Mae– or Freddie Mac–backed mortgages. The government-sponsored enterprises will use public records, including listings and tax appraisals, to process desktop appraisals for purchase loans.
Sandra Thompson, acting director of the FHFA, made the announcement on Monday during the Mortgage Banker Association’s annual conference in San Diego.
The change will allow banks and mortgage lenders to use desktop appraisals in place of traditional ones. Desktop appraisals had first been announced as a temporary option at the start of the pandemic.

Donate Toys for Tots this year at the Office |
This year’s annual campaign begins on October 1, 2021, and local businesses are instrumental in the success of the Marine Toys for Tots program. It’s a way you can give back to your community and to its less fortunate children. You can support Marine Toys for Tots by donating a new, unwrapped toy at a toy collection site near you, or by helping us with toy collection, sorting, and distribution.

|
Helping to coordinate special toy raising functions is another way of getting involved.
You can generate or purchase media attention for the program, sponsor a toy raising event, supply an essential service like providing meals for volunteers or transportation to drop off or pick up toys, or simply allow your place of business to be a toy drop off location. Longleaf Pine REALTORS® is one of those drop-off spots. Swing by 2412 Raeford Road with new, unwrapped toys to donate.
The important thing is we are local people helping local families. This is the Christmas mission of your Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots.
Please contact if you, your local organization, or your business is interested in supporting our mission this holiday season at 910-479-4107 or cumberland.county.nc@toysfortots.org.
