In reply to Older & Maybe Wiswe. Incorrect, at least in Pennsylvania, to appraise real property you had to be a licensed Real Estate broker (not a sales person). But, the truth is, it was a law generally honored in the breech of it.

In reply to Baggins. My friend, I’ve spent 40 years in the Real Estate business, including 30 as an appraiser. The Banks don’t WANT protection, they want to make money. To do that, they simply want to do every deal they can, and sell off the paper. BADGES? We don’t got no Badges. We don’t need no Badges! An we don’t need no stinking property appraisal.

In reply to Seneca. “Hard sell there is no bias with 150 white authors” Just like a good appraisal report, the facts don’t care about your feelings. If all of the findings in the above report are factual, it shouldnt matter what color the author or their organizational makeup is. Isn’t this the point, that race shouldn’t matter?
