I guess I wonder what the real problem is with someone advocating for change in an industry that has had a history of some bad actors and behaviors. USPAP and State Level Regulatory bodies came out of bad behavior and bad actors and 1989 was not that long ago. We had a repeat in 2008-2010…Dodd Frank. Again, bad actors and bad behavior.

I agree with combating bias with bias isn’t good. In reply to Mark skapinetz. The AEI has over 150 scholars on their panel and only one is Afro-American who is only on the panel as guest contributor. Citing studies from the AEI can be a double edge sword.

The coin has now flipped, as pdc people will storm borrowers homes, bifur and desktop appraisals from half a world away, avm’s and waivers will rubber stamp every hopeful deal.

In reply to Sam Jackson. Making it worse? I’m sure we are nearing the bottom if not there already. To take your advice would mean to keep quiet and keep taking it in the rear. Not my style, Sam.

They insist on maintaining this illusion that because two similar homes, in different locations, sell for different amounts, one home has been ‘de valued’, and the other has not. If people thought those homes were worth more, they’d pay more. In reply to Diana N. Class action? Where do I sign?

In reply to Eric Kennedy. Oh yes, I’m posting this alternate link to the full document all the time. As her site is no longer active. My repeat statement whenever amc’s come up; Missing the IVPI proposal yet? We could have all made it, just like the old days when appraisers could simply appeal to mortgage people directly for work.

In reply to Mary Cummins. I’ve noticed a new stream of tax lien infomercials as well. It’s all going down behind the scenes and market values are not being allowed to adjust downward with what we thought was ‘the market’ Because lenders give first purchase opportunities to corporate investors ahead of regular citizens.

In reply to AppraisersBlogs Team. I can’t say for sure about Pam Crowley, it’s been a long time since HVCC and the IVPI Proposal and battle – which we lost. She was under a lot of pressure, probably litigation from AMC’s and there were some health issues with her husband if I remember correctly.

Y’all ain’t gonna combat bias with bias. Appraisers continue to state there is no bias. But the more you go against the bias claims without any actual and factual data, you won’t get anywhere. They even built their own algorithm. Bias exists. However appraisers are up against government and more.

Wanting to change AVMs to increase value of homes for no reason is frightening. In reply to Mark skapinetz. 10kblackappraisers.com is worrisome. I’m all for education, diversity but that group is a fundraising group only. I doubt it’s a legal nonprofit. Thaddeus also has a history.

I have been appraising for 50+ years and have always maintained , it’s the neighborhood, not the residents that indicate the values based on sales. That’s why the comps were always supposed to be within 1 mile or if not available, sales in a comparable neighborhood were to be used.

Now they’re loading them up with home loans at higher interest rates at the peak of the market just like before the Great Recession. In reply to Baggins. Government already set up lower to mid income people with tons of student loans. Lenders, AMCs are kissing HUD’s behind to allow these easier predatory loans.

But over time, investors and others do ‘party wall agreements’ where they buy all those units, in one simple sale, then separate the individual ownership of all units at once, into every unit having it’s own owner and it’s own singular deed for each singular unit. Look at this one!

In reply to Mary Cummins. Every single person employed at HUD, FNMA, Freddie, Fannie, most of the lenders I work with, every member of the PAVE task force, and every politician in this entire country earns more than me and outpace my ‘white wealth’ by leaps and bounds. This is me, waiting for my white privilege to kick in.
