The Appraisal Subcommittee to review appraisal policies
Members of the consortium include the National Fair Housing Alliance (a civil rights organization dedicated to eliminating all forms of housing and lending discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities), Steve Dane (renowned expert on fair housing and civil rights law), and Better Mortgage (which brings multiple appraisers in a team led by Jillian White, head of collateral).
“ASC and CLEAR are very pleased with the caliber of these proposals and qualifications of the selectees,” said ASC executive director Jim Park. “This is an important step to determine if USPAP and/or the real property appraiser qualification criteria have had a disparate impact on people of color and women entering the appraisal profession, as well as consumers who are directly impacted by appraisals.”
ASC says three appraisal organizations will be reviewed against fair housing, fair lending, and civil rights laws
