No Diversity: 96.5% Of U.S. Appraisers Are White​

Since TAF has not been able to see the problem for more than three decades until outsiders pointed it out and they have continued to make decisions that demonstrate their disconnect, TAF leadership is essentially the starting point to resolve the lack of industry diversity problem. Top-down is how this gets fixed if the stakeholders in the industry actually want it fixed. We have no leadership on this issue within the industry and solving this problem has to be top-down or it won’t ever be resolved.

Yep, all of that happened under Buntons' watch. In the hearing note, King David De Bunton I tries to deflect the blame for the lack of diversity within TAF to the "changing" demographics of the US in the last five to seven years or so. In other words, once we got caught, we added a few token minorities and women to our staff to take the heat off of us. Lol

I think it's kinda funny how he can acknowledge that the bottleneck for trainees accruing experience hours are the lenders exercising their alternatives (an expression of the supply/demand) and not limitations in banking regs or at the GSEs. It's also amusing how he ignores the point that the "experience criteria" barrier to entry itself reduces the level of competition fee appraisers already face in the market.

The only DEI fix TAF can do is eliminate the experience criteria for minority applicants (only), whilst retaining it for everyone else. Otherwise opening the floodgates for no-experience licensees will let in too many non-minority applicants to result in the desired racial quotas.

But hey, flooding the market WILL serve to ensure appraisal fees never rise about $300 ever again. So I guess some people will get excited about that.

don't worry about the fees...the cheap and fast unethical stakeholders already took care of that...along with TAF fee guidelines and they wonder why there is an appraiser 'shortage'

anyways

this whole dog and pony show has proven another conspiracy...just hit the dang number

 

[George Hatch]

What "TAF fee guidelines" are you talking about?

That article was inline with the required bias class I had to take to renew my license. The government was responsible for the red lining, structural racism in the U.S. housing system. The lender's stepped in line by calling loans too risky for these areas.

Biden just took history's ugly past and dumped it on the appraiser's shoulders. We are the cause of prohibiting generational wealth in these neighborhoods. When in actuality, all we are trying to do is mirror the market following USPAP, Fannie guidelines, and lender conditions.....vote for me and I'll set you free.

Jonathan Miller Is the Most Trusted (and Quoted) Man in New York Real Estate​

Jonathan Miller, co-founder and CEO of Miller Samuel Inc., has been described as the nicest guy in the real estate business. (Jake Naughton for Observer.)
“Everyone you meet in real estate is here by accident,” opined appraiser Jonathan Miller, sitting in his many-monitored and very chilled office on West 38th Street several weeks ago. Mr. Miller stumbled into the business himself 29 years ago, rather improbably in the company of his sister, wife, parents and brother-in-law, who took to appraising the way that other families might take to vacationing in Boca Raton or raising cairn terriers. “Well, maybe not now,” he conceded. “It’s become such a spectator sport.”


If it has—and all signs point to yes—then Mr. Miller is the sport’s star commentator. Invariably affable and always willing to take reporters’ calls, he prides himself on being a “rescuer of bad pitches” and is the rare source who urges journalists to call his cell anytime. He actually means it, too: he once cheerfully chatted with me for a good 30 or 40 minutes on a Friday night about the upper Manhattan rental market before excusing himself—it was family pizza night and he had to go pick up dinner.
