The article attributed something to the ‘Nations largest professional association of appraisers’ but then failed to identify which association that is.

I certainly hope they don’t mean CoreLogic itself. It may be many things, but a professional appraisers association wouldn’t be considered by most appraisers, to be one of them.

Generally speaking, appraisers do NOT report suspected loan fraud in my experience. We report conditions found at the property or within other supplied data. Suspected loan fraud would be a subjective consideration and an unsupported conclusion. Barring some exceptional circumstance, I cannot see where I would ever have meaningful data to indicate a loan fraud, that the lender does not already have.

Do we ‘know’ of loan fraud? Only anecdotally..

Many of these involve failure to provide adequate data protection, adequate review, adequate engagement, and so on, and so forth. Nothing is ever done about it. But if you complain on an appraiser, that’s when heads start rolling. Not buying it.
