I’m not denying the appraisal industry is shamefully under represented by appraisers of color, in large part due to the training system. But here’s the deal, a residential PAREA certification will allow a noob appraiser of color to accept ANY residential assignment. That in no way helps minority appraisers. So let’s create another license category, “secondary market certification” and develop PAREA around that. I agree with the many posters (here and on FB) who are pointing out the current training system is overkill for Fannie form work, so let’s cut to chase and out maneuver the outside interests who either know nothing or are motivated by money from ruining the profession.
