This is actually not a retread. It just came out the other day. There are now 4-5 different casss in which this supposedly happened. Fl, Colorado, Detroit, NJ and now CA.

I Actually spoke to someone the other day in Jacksonville and they told me that HUD had been actively trying to hire an appraiser to go out and appraise the Abena Horton home (the lady that started this all) and it appears they are doing so to get through their investigation of the original claim. As far as I know so far no one has taken the order and wants nothing to do with it. I’m sure there will be someone though.

this is just going to continue and more stories like these will keep coming out. I have decided that I will be asking for identification at every home to make sure the borrower is who they say they are or the realtor. If they try to replace themselves with another person then I’ll walk away until the real owners are present. Not into these games.

I think this is the newest way people will try to dispute their appraisals. Its always something. Just make sure you do your research and write your reports like always. Its just the latest in a string of reasons why we as a group suck at our jobs and can't appraise our way out of a paper bag (sarcasm).

It might take a ballsy appraiser who is near retirement.

Tell DW to send Freddie’s new and improved flux capacitor AVM and a drone over to Abena’s house. The number she wants is waiting and with a MAPE of less than 5% , can’t beat that.
 
Abby works for Blackstone a company specializing in hybrid and AVM “valuations “.

I will fly there and appraise it if they pay my fee and pay for travel.

What's the fee? I may just pony it up. Do a gofundme for the airfare.
