Part of the 203k insurance endorsement process requires the borrower to provide architectural exhibits to the lender who, in turn, submits the paperwork to HUD. To streamline the process for borrowers and lenders, HUD/FHA-approved 203k consultants assist the borrower and DE lender by preparing exhibits and providing other assistance. 203k consultants are trained by HUD on 203k requirements and procedures.

The 203k consultant roster is a listing of HUD/FHA-approved consultants. The list includes the consultant's full name, consultant ID, address, and phone number.  HUD Homeownership Center (HOC) staff maintain the 203k roster and have the ability to add and update 203k consultant information. Authorized lenders can view a version of the roster which includes consultant status and eligibility information. In addition, the entire list of 203k consultants can be downloaded as a Microsoft® Excel® file. 203k Consultants can be accessed through the following sequence of FHA Connection links: Single Family FHA, Single Family Origination, FHA Approval Lists, and 203k Consultants.

Note: The 203k consultant roster without status and eligibility information is also available to borrowers interested in hiring a consultant.
