					<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>President Biden&#8217;s recent comment about the discrepancy in home values between Black and white families has sparked backlash on social media, with many accusing him of being a &#8220;divider&#8221;. During a campaign speech at Charleston Church in South Carolina, Biden stated that homes owned by Black families are often valued at less than those owned by white families, even if they are built by the same builder. &#8220;Today, a home owned by a Black family on one side of a highway, built by the same builder on the other side of the highway &#038; a white guy living in it,&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Well, I guess no one will be doing appraisals in New Jersey&#8230; or maybe the standard fee is going to be $10,000?&#8221; said one appraiser. The bill proposed by New Jersey Senate lawmakers to create steep penalties for real estate appraisers who undervalue homes because of the owner or buyer’s protected characteristics has been met with both praise and criticism. Supporters of the bill are lauding its potential to combat discrimination in housing transactions, while critics worry that it could lead to unintended consequences due to its disregard for appraisers&#8217; motives. Violators would pay $10,000 on a first offense, $25,000&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear representative, waiving/eliminating property appraisal for lending purposes is wanton recklessness. Fannie Mae’s decision to waive/eliminate property appraisal for lending purposes is nothing more than wanton recklessness that could have serious repercussions in the future. The truth of the matter is that appraisals are an essential part of any mortgage transaction and should not be taken lightly or eliminated without due consideration. Without them, there can be no assurance as to whether a homebuyer will get what they pay for or if lenders will make bad investments with their money. In short, waiving/eliminating property appraisal requirements puts everyone at risk&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Who is going to organize raising the funds and hiring the lobbyist? We are woefully behind the curve here. Myself and many others were organized in the early 1990s and managed to protect the appraisers&#8217; interests for the most part at that time. Here in 2023, there does not appear to be any meaningful response other than the same old anecdotal war stories we pass along among ourselves. Yes, past markets crashed due to really bad mortgage products/underwriting, and banks failed due to really bad management decisions to go along with those mortgage schemes, but if Uncle Sam is going&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The nation’s 80,000 licensed real property appraisers should pay close attention to the manipulation of Washington by FTX, which turned out to have the characteristics of a Ponzi scheme.&#160; Fallen crypto whiz kid Sam Bankman-Fried and his associates are a living testament to the power of political donations in American politics. It’s unclear precisely what the more than $70 million in political donations bought FTX during an 18-month period leading up to the midterms, but one can speculate the money silenced what was once a brisk debate on Capitol Hill and at the U.S. Treasury on the regulation of crypto-currency.&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A bill to amend Illinois’ appraiser and real estate licensing acts to address discrimination. With increased public attention on the issue, complaints alleging unlawful discrimination are emerging in the courts and before regulators in relation to appraisals.

The bill would amend each licensing act to state that an appraiser or real estate licensee engages in prohibited discrimination&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

Most appraisers work as Independent Contractors when working with AMCs. However, this will most likely change under this new law, AB-5, as of the first of the year.
