I personally wouldn't even dignify an accusation of bias by responding.I think the consensus among appraisers is that in fact we do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, etc, etc.
We call it like we see it value-wise, and reliably support our findings.
Over the 25+ years I've been doing appraisals, only once did I see an instance that had the appearance of bias.
Appraisers, hands up if you’re thrilled to watch the circus this disaster is about to unleash. OH GOODIE, ANOTHER WINNER.
Because what we all wanted was a shiny new public database of our appraisal details so they can play “Find the Discrimination.”
And the best part? If a creditor feels your report might be discriminatory—no actual proof needed—you get the honor of paying for a second appraisal yourself. Truly a masterclass in fair policy.
What dummy, I mean politician dreamed this BS up?
The absolute worst part of this bill is that it empowers lenders to force an appraiser to pay for a second appraisal if the lender merely has “reason to believe” the original report is discriminatory.
“(B) Discrimination.—If the creditor has reason to believe that an appraisal report reflects discrimination, the creditor shall—

While the USA frets n struts its brow..."while Rome burns...." Sad but true!

Actually not-This would be Raphael Warnocks baby. If the dems get back in power this will be the law of the land. We can not under any circumstances allow this to ever pass. This will be the end of residential appraisers.

Can't find Warnocks name anywhere.
I think its not so much about sifting through looking for bias. its sifting through looking to grab our work and leave the actual appraiser out of the equation.
