Appraisers Blog

That is a biased statement right there.

Comment on And Why Is the Second Appraisal Always the “Correct Value?” by Mary Cummins

Appraisers Blog

The title is misleading, “And Why Is the Second Appraisal Always the ‘Correct Value?'” You basically said the mentor program is flawed which has caused appraisers to not be diverse.

In reply to Bill Johnson. Amen! I thought the same exact things. Jonathan did us no favors at all. By the very statement that diversity will help to resolve bias is a biased statement right there!
