The scandal isn’t that a few appraisers might be racially biased. The scandal is that appraisal is so squeezy that two appraisers can produce value opinions that differ by hundreds of thousands of dollars! 30+ years ago, the AIREA and SREA merged; FIRREA was passed; the structure of appraisal licensing and regulation by the states was implemented, all overseen by the Appraisal Foundation.

In reply to Vince Slupski. [link] Read the appraisals yourself, they are posted in that thread. If one could even call some of the hybrid simplified products as ‘appraisals.’ They did not adjust for land, gross sizing comparison differences, failed to adjust for rear features, did not adjust basement room counts, quality of feature differences, a myriad of shortcomings, see addenda, prewritten, etc, etc.

In reply to David Ziccardi. I understand your argument and this is interesting, perhaps you’re selecting language which is too close together in meaning. There is no room for bias, when all a valuator does is interpret and report on other peoples decisions, or some form of tangible items most likely and most probable worth in a specific market setting, solicited under specific terms.

In reply to David Ziccardi. There are those that would take such a statement out of context and exploit it to support their self-serving narrative. They would use it in a manner to try and eliminate the appraiser stumbling block. The people trying to eliminate appraisers are greed driven, despicable individuals who have no moral compass. It is business and they will use anything at their disposal.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

I recommend that my colleagues read “Dark Towers” by David Enrich very much substantiating similar historic and current behavior of the “twins” I would proffer that we currently are at an inflection point where high risk atypical properties are being loaded into the residential portfolios. Appraisers need only look at the last 10 appraisal requests and compare complexity to appraisal fee offered.

“If an automated valuation model is used for a valuation waiver in the State of Maryland, then the parametric data and risk-analysis information must be released to the public. Also, any waiver of a traditional appraisal must be followed by a written, detailed document with a fixed value.” This is the answer. If our clown-show overlords insist on using this rubber stamping technology, this should be the minimum they would have to provide the consumer.

Is it just me or is the public and the appraisal community constantly conflating bias with discrimination? In my opinion, as long as USPAP requires appraisers to state that appraisal reports are performed without bias, the perception that we are a discriminating industry will not go away. I think that USPAP language needs to be modified so that appraisers have permission to state that appraisers are human, biased individuals and that our reports are performed with a certain amount of bias.

One question you should ask yourself is “am I properly insured if something catastrophic happens?” Specifically, many people may not realize that traditional homeowners insurance policies typically have coverage limits that may not be sufficient to adequately protect high-valued property such as fine art, jewelry, or luxury items.
