did you edit me out...that is good idea...i wouldn't pay 500 k to relman to rewrite the 'ethics' standard blood sucking bias lawyers

In the interests of accuracy I will point out that Relman didn't rewrite the ETHICS RULE. The wrote a superfluous elaboration to one of the existing prohibitions. It probably took one of their paralegals an entire afternoon to write it.

The Appraisal Foundation Takes Action to Build Trust, Stamp Out Bias (ARM E JOURNAL | 2024 • Volume 8 • Issue 1)​

February 7, 2025
Dave Bunton
President, The Appraisal Foundation

Abstract: Over the last three years, the appraisal profession has been having serious conversations about valuation bias and the threat it poses to public trust. At The Appraisal Foundation, public trust is our mission, and even one instance of appraisal bias or discrimination hurts the trust that the public places in appraisers. This article presents the efforts of our boards to ensure that the standards and qualifications that real property appraisers must adhere to are strong and leave no room for an appraiser to discriminate.

As a result of these conversations, The Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) has quickly turned their focus to the Ethics Rule. After hearing from stakeholders that this rule needed a second look, the ASB started a comprehensive review of the Ethics Rule. This process included bringing in a leading fair housing law firm, Relman Colfax, to assist in the analysis. Relman Colfax’s years of experience and expertise in fair housing guided the board as they worked to propose and eventually adopt an updated Ethics Rule.

Over the course of five exposure drafts, the ASB heard from stakeholders across the profession including appraisers, users of appraisal services, consumers, and regulators. Gathering and considering all this feedback strengthened what the ASB adopted as the new version of the Ethics Rule. The extensive process also helped lead to several other changes to USPAP, and the adoption of a new edition of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), which goes into effect on January 1, 2024. As the new Ethics Rule has gone into effect, the ASB continues to gather public feedback to see if any additional guidance is needed to better equip appraisers to understand their nondiscrimination requirements stated in the Ethics Rule.

Posted to FB, a.i. transcribed the voice mail. I say a.i. nailed it:

 

[Amy Perkins]

I thought the AMC’s were created to put a third party between lender and appraiser to stop lenders from influencing the appraiser. If that is in fact the case, how do many of the AMC’s now have staff appraisers doing their work? Can someone enlighten me?

Currently they are doing all the hybrids and I haven't gotten any work lately. I have software for UAD paid up for ACI so Im moving forward. The market is slow. People may retire but AMCs are hiring appraisers. Im wondering where all their money is coming from.

Like I said, all Relman did was write an elaboration on an existing prohibition. There has never been any loophole in the ETHICS RULE for an appraiser to exploit WRT bias and racism. Which you would understand if you ever read it.
