Appraiser Extraordinaire Jonathan Miller On The Importance Of Being Neutral And More​


He has been called an appraiser extraordinaire and preeminent researcher.

Jonathan Miller is president and CEO of Miller Samuel Inc., an independent residential real estate appraisal practice and consulting company, which he cofounded in 1986. He’s also the cofounder of Miller Cicero, LLC, a commercial real estate appraisal and advisory firm. Both companies are based in Manhattan.


In addition to appraisals, Miller Samuel publishes what many consider the gold standard in real estate market research reports, with analysis in 30-plus markets, including those in New York, Florida, Colorado and California. Miller’s prolific communication extends to social media, of which he was an early adopter. His esteemed Matrix Blog has been attracting readers since 2005. These days, Miller's weekly newsletter Housing Notes absorbs his attention, where he provides insights into the housing economy.

Demand for his real estate commentary remains constant, in both digital and print media, appearing on the likes of ABC News, Bloomberg, CNBC and the Nightly Business Report. He’s quoted and cited regularly in Forbes, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Crain’s New York Business and more.


Respect for Miller’s reputation accrues both within and outside the appraisal industry. He’s a beacon to professionals who, like Miller, don’t behave as if capitalism is synonymous with greed. Media connections also recognize Miller as having foreseen years in advance the scope and timing of the financial meltdown of 2008. Naturally, he shrugs off the genius label, instead chalking it up to his simply “applying morality and neutrality to valuation.”


I recently caught up with Jonathan Miller, between his productivity and preparations for an upcoming presentation.

GW Business Hosts Discussion with Fannie Mae Senior VP on Creating Inclusive Structures for Homeownership​


Senior VP Sharifa A. Anderson, chief diversity and inclusion officer at Fannie Mae, spoke with interim Dean Vanessa Perry about promoting values of diversity through various initiatives.

The impact of systemic racial bias in the home appraisal industry has received heightened attention in recent years as growing research found that properties of Black homeowners are often under-valued, and homes in Black neighborhoods are also appraised lower compared to white neighborhoods.


As Black homeowners have shared their stories of receiving widely different valuations before and after staging their homes to remove traces of race, government officials have vowed to address the problem.


The issue of appraisal bias being a factor in worsening the wealth gap for Black Americans was one of many topics covered at the latest George Talks Business segment, hosted by the George Washington University School of Business (GWSB).


Vanessa Perry, the interim dean for GWSB and a professor of marketing, strategic management, and public policy, moderated the discussion with Sharifa A. Anderson, the senior vice president and the chief diversity and inclusion officer of the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae).


The discussion held at Jack Morton Auditorium centered on broadening housing access and creating a more inclusive housing finance system.


Perry acknowledged Fannie Mae’s work on appraisal bias and posed a question to Anderson Thursday evening about what appraisal bias is and the concerning impact it is having on Black homeowners.


Anderson explained that in instances where appraisals may be required in connection with financing of a home, studies indicated that Black households were “finding that the value of their property was much lower than that of white households.” “It’s such that studies were being done where [households] would remove any evidence of ethnicity or race to understand how that shifted an appraiser's valuation of the property,” Anderson said.


Anderson elaborated that understanding how bias shows up in housing finance has led to Fannie Mae leveraging its position in the marketplace to develop more innovative solutions. Anderson said one of the ways Fannie Mae is addressing appraisal bias is by using artificial intelligence (specifically natural language processing models) to understand the extent to which prohibited terms (good neighborhood, desirable location or pride of ownership) are showing up in appraisals.

The Whistleblower They Ignored​

There aren’t too many genuine heroes to come out of the banking disaster, but Armando Falcon is one of them–and had he been listened to, a significant part of the housing crisis could have been mitigated.​

There aren’t too many genuine heroes to come out of the banking disaster, but Armando Falcon is one of them. You have probably never heard of him, but his testimony Friday before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, available on the commission’s website, is must reading for anyone trying to figure out why US taxpayers had to bail out companies to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.

"While all of this political power satisfied the egos of Fannie and Freddie executives, it ultimately served one primary purpose: the speedy accumulation of personal wealth by any means…. In the case of CEO Franklin Raines, he collected over $90 million in total compensation from 1998 to 2003. Of that amount, $52 million was directly tied to achieving earnings-per-share goals. However, the earnings goal turned out to be unachievable without breaking rules and hiding risks."

It only adds insult to injury to blame the unfettered greed of folks like Raines, and his Congressional allies who were lavishly attended to by those agencies, on a concern for the low-income homebuyers who were their main victims.
