Homogeneous banned from the appraisal lexicon

[George Hatch]

Watching the verbiage you use in an appraisal is a form of defensive writing. You're not doing it to submit to someone looking to blame you (or your intended users) for their problems, you're doing it to deprive them of the opportunity to blame you.

Do you want to win or do you want to "you can't tell me what to do"?

 

[George Hatch]

You can go be stunning, brave, fierce, strong, and independent on your own time. But when you're writing appraisal reports for these lenders to use then their exposure to liability for what you're doing in an appraisal report becomes a thing. Their liability isn't something appraisers have a right to take lightly or trivialize.

As I understand it a couple of these situations have resulted in the borrowers getting paid off for wrongs they didn't even suffer in the first place. Not because they were right, but (ultimately) because the appraiser didn't provide their users with the means to debunk the allegations right from the outset. I would even go so far as to say these appraisers might as well have pulled the lever on the lotto machine.

The nobody can tell me what to do crowd can use unlimited and unfiltered "free speech/anti woke" verbiage in their free time. When our appraisal role is in play, we are supposed to act like professionals and that includes keeping up with trends and how we handle ourselves on social media when discussing sensitive appraisal topics.

No matter how much denial is thrown at it, "free speech" can have consequences. Being free to blurt out garbage does not mean you get a free pass if the garbage comes back to bite you.

Because I knew his character and his lewd remarks behind closed doors but I didn't know he would treat his subordinate that way.

No first-hand knowledge? Never witnessed it with that particular subordinate?
