					<description><![CDATA[<p>When unregulated middlemen run the show, appraisers get ghosted, consumers get duped, and regulators get a velvet-gloved slap from NAR.&#160; In a housing market that demands clarity, Appraisal Management Companies, or AMCs, continue to operate like the magician’s assistant, always present, rarely transparent, and somehow still part of the act. But the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) just handed the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) a letter that reads less like a polite memo and more like a velvet-gloved slap. It’s a bold call to rein in AMC antics and restore dignity to the appraisers who keep the system honest.&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

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.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Folks, I recently attended a Train the Trainer 1.5 day class about the new UAD/URAR, jointly facilitated by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Aloft. About 20 other instructors from across the US were also present. This class is required before this new UAD material can be taught to other appraisers, under contract with the GSEs. My info below is a limited high-level summary for the new UAD and URAR of what was presented, and what the appraiser community can expect to see, from now into 2026. It is not meant to be comprehensive; I may send out other info as&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<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>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The harassment campaign benefits a number of odd bedfellows: the housing lobby, which wants unfettered access to federal funds and taxpayer-backed mortgage guarantees through Freddie, Fannie and the FHA – they see appraisals as an unnecessary bottleneck. A firm called Mizrahi Kroub is the largest filer of so-called “digital Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuits.” The New York law firm files about a quarter of all such cases nationwide, according to a provider of web-accessibility services. The firm, which employs nine lawyers, has brought more than 1,100 web-accessibility cases against small businesses for missing alt-text, incorrectly formatting lists or providing unclear&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>These misleading ads are sowing seeds of mistrust in a time-tested profession. The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) has recently launched a concerning campaign of poster ads, billboard ads, and magazine ads that falsely accuse home appraisers of basing their valuations on the personal characteristics of the homeowners or prospective buyers, rather than solely on the objective merits and features of the property itself. This is a deeply misleading and unjust narrative that undermines the integrity of the appraisal profession, which is founded on the core principle of providing an independent, impartial assessment of a home&#8217;s value. Appraisers are highly&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The comment period on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau&#8217;s (CFPB) &#8220;Request for Information Regarding Fees Imposed in Residential Mortgage Transactions&#8221; concluded on August 2, 2024, with a total of 959 comments received. Upon reviewing some of these submissions, several noteworthy perspectives emerged regarding appraisal fees and the role of Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs). The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) highlighted the lack of transparency surrounding AMC fees, which are often bundled together with the actual appraisal fee on the Closing Disclosure (CD). This opaque structure prevents consumers from understanding the true cost of the appraisal service and hinders their ability&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>By keeping the borrower in the dark about the true cost of the appraisal, the AMCs are able to charge exorbitant prices and pocket the difference (as shown in Figures 1 through 10), exploiting the consumer’s lack of knowledge.&#160; Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Request for Information on Fees Imposed in Residential Mortgage Transactions. The growth of Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs) in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis was driven by a well-intentioned but ultimately misguided belief that they could help &#8220;ensure the integrity and independence&#8221; of property valuations. The reasoning&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The HousingWire article highlighting that only 40% of homes sold include an &#8220;accurate&#8221; appraisal, as defined by the Corporate Settlement Solutions (CSS) report, is deeply problematic and indicative of a concerning lack of understanding around the appraisal process. The report cited from CSS, analyzed appraisal data across 10 states in the East Coast and Midwest, finding that only around 40% of home sales included an appraisal that was within $2,500 of the final sale price. This is being presented as evidence that the vast majority of home appraisals are inaccurate. Appraising a home&#8217;s value is an inherently complex endeavor, with&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The U.S. government impoverishes homebuyers as it does the chronically ill – by promoting the use of middlemen who prey upon them. A cadre of such middlemen was created decades ago as a firewall between Big Pharma, the insurance companies and the pharmacy chains. Called “pharmacy benefit managers,” they were to negotiate drug prices, streamline distribution and manage lists of prescription drugs covered by insurance plans. But since the government has gone whole-hog into health care under the Affordable Care Act and into drug-price controls under the Inflation Reduction Act, things have gotten crazy at the slop trough. Today, according&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Reforming the appraisal review process is essential to maintaining the integrity of the real estate market and protecting consumers and homeowners.&#160; In mortgage financing, the appraisal process is often seen as the foundation of accurate property valuation and market stability. However, beneath this façade of reliability lies a troubling rift: while real estate appraisers must navigate stringent licensing protocols and scrutiny, the individuals reviewing the appraisals often operate with minimal oversight, instead leaning heavily on automated systems and algorithms. This stark disparity not only undermines the credibility of the review process but also revives the threat of past missteps, once&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>In reality, appraisers have a great story to tell, but we have a long way to go to refocus the terribly flawed “appraiser bias” narrative onto facts and science.&#160; Last week&#8217;s email from Cindy Chance, the CEO of the Appraisal Institute, marks an important and long overdue shift in the organization&#8217;s approach to addressing accusations of bias in the appraisal profession. For too long, appraisers have faced sweeping claims that their valuations are biased against certain groups, despite appraisers&#8217; ethical standards, rigorous training, and lack of financial stake in transactions. As Chance acknowledges, the Institute should have done more to&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Thirty-seven hours after President Biden took the oath of office, White House officials met with executives at social media companies. The officials threatened restraint-of-trade lawsuits and regulatory action if the companies failed to censor what the White House deemed “misinformation.” In a parallel development, we can now connect the dots that similar talks occurred among White House officials, employees of government-sponsored mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and private vendors to throttle the protected speech of individuals and firms in the mortgage industry engaged specifically for their independence. The latter serve as bulwarks in federally backed mortgage transactions. In&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A recent post by an appraiser trainee on an online forum described a troubling situation involving the use of ChatGPT to generate content for an appraisal report. The trainee admitted to using ChatGPT to write a market summary section without properly reviewing it first. This resulted in factual inaccuracies making it into the final report delivered to the client. Upon discovering this, the client, a local bank, threatened to file a complaint against the trainee. The trainee is now considering falsely claiming to have personally written the problematic section in an attempt to avoid consequences. &#8220;Hey everyone, I recently used&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

He found section after section had been violated in his own investigation by the HUD contractor.&#160; Czech-German author Franz Kafka wrote “The Trial” in 1915. The novel is a reflection on bureaucracy, power and absurdity. Its protagonist, Josef, is arrested and prosecuted by a mysterious and inaccessible authority for a crime that is never revealed to him or the reader. It’s a man’s journey through an incomprehensible and dehumanizing landscape. Ken Mullinix has&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The current system of bundling appraiser compensation with third-party fees can lead to confusion and frustration for both appraisers and consumers.&#160; In their letter to the ASC, NAR highlighted the importance of appropriate compensation for appraisers. They stated that fair and reasonable compensation is critical to attracting and retaining high-quality appraisers, as well as allowing them to invest in their skills and education. However, the current system lacks transparency when it comes to reporting appraiser compensation. The issue lies in the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosures (TRID) form, which requires an aggregate appraisal fee to be reported. This means that the fee&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>
