jim parks called the appraisal profession racist...why get mad :rof:

I don't remember him saying that, but even if he did, so what? If that's what the ASC thought at the time then why would it be immoral for them to say so? Why would you or anyone else expect the ASC to back appraisers on the unconditional basis? That isn't part of their job description.

If I reviewed an appraisal report which contained significant untruths then saying so doesn't make me anti-appraiser. It just makes me anti-untruth.
 
I won't lie for you or anyone else. I tell my own clients things they don't want to hear on a regular basis, so I have even less reason to kiss your ***.
 
if you are too lazy to see what he said...then there is no helping you roof roof :rof:
 
Citation needed for "jim parks called the appraisal profession racist"

not that it matters one iota whether he did or didn't actually say that. Even the govt is entitled to express its own opinions. WRT their own conclusions they are not required to lie by omission in order to protect appraisers from what other parties are saying about them.

Sooner or later even you will have to separate your reasoning from your feelings. I suggest you go eat a sandwhich.
 
Jim Park, Executive Director of the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC), hasn’t outright called the appraisal profession “racist,” but he has been vocal about systemic issues of bias and lack of diversity within it. In his 2022 Senate testimony and during the ASC’s public hearing on appraisal bias in 202
 

ASC Public Hearing on Appraisal Bias Brings Together Key Stakeholders​

Public Hearing on Appraisal Bias Brings Together Key Stakeholders

Public comments on appraisal bias accepted until February 8​



Washington, DC – The Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) hosted its first ever public Hearing on Appraisal Bias this week, bringing together Federal agencies, experts from across the mortgage lending and appraisal industries, researchers, and consumers to work toward the fair and accurate valuation of homes for all Americans.



“As the Federal agency charged with oversight of the appraisal regulatory system, we have grown increasingly concerned about the stories of bias that have circulated in the national media in the past several years, as well as recent studies on the topic. The ASC is also very concerned about the lack of diversity among appraisers and the excessive barriers to entry that likely deter entry into the profession, particularly for people of color.” ASC’s Executive Director Jim Park said at the Hearing.



“The ASC has made these issues a cornerstone of its work. We are using the authority we have at our disposal to highlight appraisal bias and address the lack of diversity in the profession.”



U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Marcia L. Fudge delivered opening remarks. Secretary Fudge noted that the overarching goal of the continued work on appraisal bias remains establishing the kind of change that can help “all families, in all neighborhoods, have a better chance at building generational wealth.”



The Hearing featured witness testimony from Dr. Junia Howell of the University of Illinois Chicago, homeowners Tenisha Tate-Austin and Paul Austin, Michael Fratantoni, Chief Economist, Senior Vice President, Research and Industry Technology of the Mortgage Bankers Association, and Craig Steinley, President of the Appraisal Institute. Witnesses reflected on their professional and personal experiences with appraisal bias and provided suggestions to the assembled panel on how to best address this complex and multifaceted issue.

Representatives from all seven agencies comprising the ASC Board asked questions of the witnesses with a focus on the consumer experience, the barriers to entry in the appraisal profession, and the impact on the market.



“It won’t be easy – and nothing worthwhile ever is – but by working together, I’m hopeful we’ll find solutions to these longstanding problems,” Park said. “No one should have to hide who they are to obtain a credible appraisal that is independent, non-bias and performed in a competent manner.”
