Let's Focus on the Public Trust - Trust is Hard To Win BackBanking still hasn’t recovered from the financial crisis using this metric. History is repeating itself right now with the “modernization” movement – code word for “automated valuation” using abysmally unreliable technology.

“Trust” is Hard To Win Back

Trust is a wildly important asset to have in the banking industry. They violated the public trust during the housing bubble and have worked hard but still haven’t reach pre-bubble trust levels. Let this be a lesson to Appraisal Management Companies, Mortgage Lenders, GSEs and Regulators who are currently working hard to undermine consumer trust again through the mortgage valuation process in order to generate more volume.

Here’s yet another amazing infographic from Visual Capitalist infographic:

    Banking hasn’t recovered from the Reconstruction era, from the 1899 deprecation, from the 1929 deprecation, Etc.

    Banking has been a bad partner for appraisers. Appraisers formed about a big problem with bankers during the 1930’s. Somehow or other we Still haven’t separated ourselves. Our legislators have tossed us in with lenders and banks, labeled we appraisers with titles which have made banks appear more honest. BUT we are ancillary to MONEY. What can we do? Keep our own ethics, write engagements out, define our product, use economic theories to justify our opinions, use verified, repeatable sources for information, and write a justified report & charge enough to be creditable

  6. I just received an email from a lobbyist attorney in DC. They represent about 200 of the largest consumer advocacies and affiliated organizations in the country. The folks in Federal Government should be very much aware that they are being watched by many major, nationally recognized organizations that represent many dozens of millions of consumers. Certain special interests may be in for a very rude awakening.
