					<description><![CDATA[<p>The new fair‑housing course weaponizes protected characteristics to pressure appraisers into outcome‑driven valuation, directly contradicting USPAP’s prohibition on advocacy. The Fair Housing Course Is Training You to Break USPAP. You Have Until July 27 to Say So. The Appraiser Qualifications Board&#8217;s Second Exposure Draft keeps a required course that pressures new appraisers to advocate an outcome based on protected characteristics. That is not fair housing. It is not lawful. And you can still stop it — but the comment window closes July 27. Let me say it plainly. We are being pushed — through licensing law and federal fair-housing regulation&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The Irreconcilable Conflict Between USPAP&#8217;s Typical Buyer Standard and the Current Fair Housing Compliance Regime. Retain this document as a reference should you face a complaint grounded in disparate impact theory alone. The three-safeguard framework from Inclusive Communities provides a robust defense for any appraiser whose methodology is USPAP-compliant, well-documented, and market-supported. Introduction I want to state plainly what the appraisal profession has been tiptoeing around since roughly 2019: an appraiser cannot simultaneously comply with: 1-  USPAP&#8217;s requirement to identify and analyze the most probable (typical) buyer of a property via market data AND… 2- comply with the current iteration&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>HUD just confirmed what the appraisal showed from day one: the accusation never had a pulse.&#160; If you read the original article about Steve Orlowski, the Illinois appraiser dragged through a multi year circus over a baseless bias allegation, you probably walked away thinking that surely this nightmare had to end at some point. The state had already taken its shot, the facts were already sitting in plain view, and nothing in the report supported the accusation. But as every appraiser knows, once a complaint enters the system, it tends to move forward on momentum alone, even when the foundation&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>This is the story of how a false bias allegation became the basis for an aggressive, unjustified prosecution by the state appraisal board.&#160; My name is Steve Orlowski, and I am a retired Illinois Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser. In November 2020, I conducted a property appraisal. The owner deemed my value low by more than $100,000. He only complained to the State of Illinois Department of Real Estate and filed a racism complaint with HUD; he didn&#8217;t submit a reconsideration of value. Following an informal hearing, the State of Illinois Appraisal Board required me to acknowledge my wrongdoing, complete&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>When officials start treating property rights like a rounding error, every appraiser in the room knows the market’s about to need a stress test. New York City has never been short on bold ideas, but Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s latest appointment to the city’s Office to Protect Tenants has managed to ignite a firestorm before even warming the chair. His pick, Cea Weaver, arrives with a resurfaced video and a digital paper trail that would make any seasoned housing professional pause. Between her past social‑media proclamations like “seize private property” and her declaration that homeownership is “a weapon of white supremacy,”&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Appraisers harassed by HUD under Fudge know far more waste, fraud, and abuse is still buried. A report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development found that more than $5 billion in taxpayer funds were paid to unknown parties during former HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge’s final year atop the agency. The payments reportedly included aid to roughly 30,000 deceased individuals and thousands of ineligible recipients. In fiscal year 2024, according to the report: $77 million was paid to deceased tenants $150 million went to recipients with non-existent Social Security Numbers $288 million went to pay excessively high rents&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A newly funded bias-checking app claims to fix appraisal discrimination, by sidelining appraisers, duplicating existing standards, and redefining valuation from the sales floor.&#160; Appraisers, this bit of news about a new bias checking app fluttered across my office floor the other day, causing me to trip. From the article: “&#8230;eliminate home appraisal bias, which happens when Black homeowners&#8217; properties or properties in predominately Black neighborhoods are valued less than comparable properties owned by white households or in primarily white neighborhoods.” This new electronic theoretical bias checker was developed by three women in Philadelphia, who ARE NOT appraisers. Instead, they are&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>If Orwell moonlighted as an appraiser, and Kafka had a side hustle in compliance, &#8220;MEIN COMP: The Last Appraiser&#8221; by David Samnick would be their love child. But this isn’t dystopian fantasy, it’s a forensic autopsy of a profession that was methodically dismantled while regulators smiled, and algorithms sharpened their knives. Samnick’s book is fiction the way a courtroom sketch is fiction. The names are changed, but the faces are familiar, and the tactics are real. Through a cast of fictional appraisers, each representing a phase in the slow-motion collapse of independent valuation, we witness the insertion of middlemen, the&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Appraisers are being dragged into the racial wealth gap debate, but the real gap is between racial accusation and actual evidence, and courts aren’t buying it.&#160; After years of feckless payouts by insurance companies and corporations, the era of using the courts to harass appraisers for their value opinions has ended. Last week, a U.S. District Court judge in Maryland threw out a discrimination lawsuit on summary judgment. It was brought against an appraiser by a militant professor at Johns Hopkins University and his wife, who passed away since the filing of the suit. She, too, was a professor at&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The PAVE Initiative&#8217;s lack of TEAPOTS case entries reveals a fraudulent scheme that betrayed homeowners, vilified appraisers, and hid the truth from Congress.&#160; The Biden administration&#8217;s PAVE Task Force initiative was never a legally engineered program to uncover racial bias in the appraisal industry. It was, as I have now uncovered, a systemic administrative illusion: a complex, bureaucratic apparatus designed to justify federal grant funding, inflate internal performance metrics, and maintain political optics — not to administer justice. This wasn&#8217;t enforcement. This was theft of government funds dressed in legal theater. Homeowners were deceived. Appraisers were targeted. The law was&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The new UAD form, the AMC fee gouging, the waivers, the false bias claims. It’s a perfect storm of assaults.&#160; I’ve been an appraiser since 1993, back when fax machines were cutting-edge and the internet was a clunky novelty. Over three decades, I’ve seen this profession weather storms, economic crashes, regulatory overhauls, you name it. But what’s happening now? It’s not a storm; it’s a tsunami. Our industry is hemorrhaging talent, drowning under false accusations, and getting squeezed by corporate greed and bureaucratic overreach. As someone who’s stubbornly refused to bend the knee to Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs), I’m here&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>That could bring our best and brightest back to GSE lending, leveling the playing field with fairer work distribution.&#160; Picture this: a system built to protect homeowners, backed by taxpayer dollars, now teetering on the edge of betrayal. The regulatory framework governing Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) was once a fortress of consumer protection, transparency, and fairness. As an appraiser, I’ve watched this fortress crumble. The rules imposed on GSEs and their partners—our trade-off for their congressional charter—have been chipped away through years of cunning maneuvers by trade groups and stakeholder interests. What’s left is a hollow shell, far removed from the&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The NFHA is feeling the heat as their funding evaporates, putting a major kink in their anti-appraiser crusade.&#160; The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) has found itself in a precarious position as their funding well runs dry, jeopardizing their ongoing legal battle against Maryland appraiser Shane Lanham. This development is a ray of hope not only for Lanham, who has been unjustly accused of racial bias in his appraisals, but for the entire appraisal community who have been unfairly targeted by NFHA&#8217;s relentless smear campaign.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Over the past four years, I have been subjected to a relentless, unjust investigation by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) – not because of any wrongdoing on my part, but simply for conducting an honest, independent real estate appraisal. What began as a false racial discrimination claim by a disgruntled homeowner has now escalated into a coordinated effort to suppress evidence, manipulate legal records, and intimidate me into silence.&#160; If the disturbing allegations made by Ken Mullinix are indeed true, they paint a chilling picture of corruption and abuse of power within the U.S. Department of&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>This bold move immediately resulted in the removal of all appraisal bias propaganda from the official whitehouse.gov website.&#160; With a few swift strokes of the pen, President Trump has dismantled the divisive and misguided diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) apparatus that had taken root across the federal government. On just his second day in office, Trump ordered the closure of all federal DEI offices, placing their employees on paid leave and signaling a decisive end to the era of government-sanctioned social justice activism masquerading as fairness and equality. This bold move immediately resulted in the removal of all appraisal bias&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>In a recent article, John D. Russell, JD explored the potential impact of the new Trump administration on the appraisal industry. With Republicans set to control the legislative process, Russell analyzed various documents and comments to distill expectations for how appraisal-related issues may be handled going forward. He noted that the Trump administration&#8217;s efforts will likely reflect much of the Project 2025 platform, and that its approach to the GSEs and FHFA in the first term could mirror that of the previous administration. Late first-term efforts on housing finance reform may also provide insight into second term priorities. Regarding the&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The next morning I went to my trusted AI program and asked if there was any evidence of bias. &#8220;Where is the evidence?&#8221;&#160; The issue of perceived bias and discrimination in the appraisal industry has become a highly contentious and polarizing topic in recent years, sparking intense debate and controversy. At the heart of this complex issue lies a fundamental tension between the appraisal profession&#8217;s commitment to objectivity and impartiality, and the persistent allegations of systemic racism and unfair practices that have plagued the industry. As exemplified in the response from Maryland Certified General Appraiser William Turner to an article&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A barrage of billboards, magazine ads, and TV/radio public service announcements is being used to amplify and spread this false narrative.&#160; The latest attack on the appraisal industry is being spearheaded by the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), who are aggressively pushing a false narrative of widespread appraisal bias against Black and Latino homeowners. Through a relentless media campaign employing emotive messaging, vivid anecdotes, and dubious statistics, these entities are painting a picture of widespread, systemic bias among appraisers against Black and Latino homeowners.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>On September 13, 2024, the Appraisal Institute President, Sandra Adomatis, SRA, announced that Cindy Chance is no longer the CEO of the Appraisal Institute. “We are writing to inform you that as of today, September 13, Cindy Chance is no longer in her role as CEO of the Appraisal Institute.” In an interview published by HousingWire, Cindy Chance disclosed that the Board of Directors had terminated her. Rumors that this was pending have been circulating around AppraiserVille for several weeks. I’ve been reading comments on various forums asking “will we be told the real reason for this?” My answer: Nope.&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>
