Homogeneous banned from the appraisal lexicon

[Terrel L. Shields]

Try not to use words with more than six letter - as lender may have a hard time with it.

Bias books.

The English language has these words that are intended to be descriptive. No word is "illegal." That's why we have a First Amendment. Wokism simply is trying to abolish the Bill of Rights by destroying the meaning of words.

I can't believe some appraisers still using the term "homogenous".
Just like I can't believe some in AF still use the word "orientals" for Asian Americans in US. Get with it.

The old joke -
"First prize is a 3 day stay in Cleveland, second prize is a week in Cleveland."

You're insane. Why do I even waste time with you? Start another thread about the definition of market value.

First Day at Skippy & Bulls Eye Training Class: To new Bears and Cubs to avoid all the Woke Issues
and Micro Aggression accusations. The Rule Number One is the Sales Price= Contract Price= Market Value= Everyone is Now Happy and nobody cares what words or terms you used. The referrals will start to come in and you will be known as a good appraiser with no biases except your bias toward the higher range of sales prices to help newbies obtain generational wealth all by simply making 360 monthly payments.

Following your rules, ANYONE can easily be an appraiser by following these steps and keeping out of trouble in USPAP.

Who said we ever did use it? But it is simply a descriptive word. And we get criticized for using "LatinX" when only 4% of Hispanics identify as "Latinx" - how stupid are we?

Is that how you do it? Inquiring minds want to know.

A high value gives the buyer a head start on his Generational Wealth Program. He gets a head start LMAO

 

[George Hatch]

A high value results in the buyer's equity position being less than if they had bought with a low value.

 

[JeffSH]

Just say homes are custom built which is more specific and self-explanatory than homogenous. Agents don't use that word so appraisers shouldn't either unless they think they know better.

What a ridiculous standard. Agents don't do what we do.

Before licensing, it was difficult to become an appraiser because clients/lenders had to be confident in one's skill.
With licensing, ANYONE can easily can call themselves an appraiser. Over 20 years ago, my cousin surprised me when he said he got the Trainee license. He moved to Texas and I don't think he's an appraiser anymore.

[shrugs] Don't cost nothing. Nobody is going to bleed out over having to comply with this one. We have other terms we can use to describe the physical composition of the property uses in a neighborhood.
