I did not imply anything as maybe every loan officer and mortgage broker that steered appraisal to you were 100% honest and upstanding citizens who cared about overall loan quality and were not worried about maximizing their commissions. However, it is not rationally arguable that loan officers and mortgage brokers had a very large monetary incentive to select those appraisers who would make their deals work. Thus, the system of loan officer and mortgage broker selection of appraisers was inherently and irreparably corrupt. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that is either obtuse or not interested in having an intellectually honest discussion about the HVCC and appraiser independence.maybe they choose me because i best represented their company. what you implied is that they choose me to "hit a number" which is a baseless accusation. if one wanted to find the "number hitters" that would not be a tough task. and let me ask you this if i wanted to end around the hvcc/AMC and talk with the broker and find out what value was needed to make the loan work would it be hard to do?
Additionally, your posts have failed to acknowledge and address the fact that loan officer and mortgage broker selection of the appraiser has been illegal under the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines since 1992, which is long before the HVCC came along.
