Appraisers hit a federal form deadline Nov 2 — I built the analysis layer. Here's what an MLS export actually needs to look like.

Builder disclosure up front: this is my product.

One line of context: every GSE appraisal moves to the UAD 3.6 standard on Nov 2, review goes field-driven, and appraisers suddenly need real support behind every adjustment number.

What CompIQ does, one sentence: upload your MLS export, get regression-supported adjustments plus short per-field comments sized for the new URAR's comment boxes.

The part nobody documents — what the file needs to be:

  • The standard closed-sales results-grid export from your MLS. CSV or Excel.
  • One hard requirement: a sold/close price column. GLA, beds, baths, year built, lot size, garage, etc. all get used if present, skipped if not.
  • Column names don't need cleanup — common header variants are recognized automatically, and anything missed is a two-click manual map.
  • Real-world mess is handled: split full/half baths, "Street #" + "Street" split addresses, lot size in acres or SF, features buried in pipe-delimited columns.
  • Hard floor is 5 closed sales; more sales, tighter numbers.
  • Files parse in your browser. The raw export — agent names, owner fields, remarks — never leaves your machine; only the mapped analysis fields are used.

If you're an appraiser or build for them: what would this need to fit a real UAD 3.6 workflow?
