Appraisal news, discussions, opinions, technology solutions by Real Estate Appraisers

One appraiser spotted a mystery fee on an oil‑change invoice & watched it vanish the moment it was questioned. Tech fees work the same way. They survive on silence. Push back, & the whole illusion collapses. https://t.co/nJNbhAg9eu

Borrowers are finally seeing where their “appraisal fee” really goes. With Appraisal Nation, AMC Links, and a familiar lender in the spotlight, the middleman is getting the questions appraisers were never allowed to answer. https://t.co/qCwNODXPy1

Everyone has an opinion about assessments… until they see what actually goes into producing them. https://t.co/3Rm15qotbc

NYC can debate housing philosophy all day, but appraisers see the impact first. Property rights wobble, values move, & the market reacts long before the headlines do. https://t.co/KXxygBhEMK

Billions lost at HUD, yet appraisers were the ones dragged through years of manufactured investigations. The real abuse was inside the agency all along. https://t.co/zlAIXGGRSV

Hybrid appraisals: trainees can’t inspect, gig workers can. The borrower gets a hollow valuation, the appraiser gets the liability, the AMC gets paid, & regulators get plausible deniability. Progress, apparently.

Hybrid appraisals rely on no-name data collectors, leaving appraisers liable when borrowers get shorted on value.

Reggora’s 24-hour appraisal: one appraiser gets $75 to $125 for a hybrid, another gets a $280 FHA offer to patch the fallout. The tech is fast, the math is fuzzy, the liability’s yours. https://t.co/Xc0NB131S3

An app built by non-appraisers now flags bias, & offers to retrain certified experts. Because clearly, the problem isn’t market forces, it’s appraisers refusing to bend reality. Reform? More like revenue in disguise. https://t.co/rZ45OcRaMe

Korea didn’t host a panel. They hit the streets. While banks & GSEs rebrand erosion as “modernization,” the profession shrinks quietly. The question isn’t what’s happening. It’s what we’re willing to do about it. The rest is up to us. https://t.co/e70pEotpgq

Appraisers face layers of regulation. AMCs? Not so much. They drop professionals without notice, bundle fees in secrecy & dodge oversight. NAR just called it out. If this is innovation, it’s wearing a convenient invisibility cloak. https://t.co/M1taT0xtSN

Judges want receipts, not vibes. Bureaucratic overreach keeps swinging while AEI quietly torpedoes the narrative. When you control for reality, the racial valuation gap nearly vanishes. Turns out, markets don’t care about headlines. https://t.co/VVdgXCsmmm

MEIN COMP: The Last Appraiser isn’t just fiction, it’s a blueprint. Middlemen, compliance, accusations, algorithms. 120,000 appraisers gone. Think your profession is too essential to fail? They came for the appraisers. You’re next. https://t.co/0EKrgHeeMa

Appraisals now promised in 24 hours, same cost, full compliance. Tech has apparently solved access delays, data gaps, & market nuance overnight. If credibility fits in a day, judgment must’ve been optional all along https://t.co/fuFIiLYLcf

Rural lending isn’t dying from lack of demand. It’s being choked by systems built for subdivisions, not farms. No appraisers, no comps, no credit. The math doesn’t work, but the excuses sure do. https://t.co/JvyF4uwWA8

Fannie & Freddie waived appraisals, inflated values, & called it progress. Now homeowners are stuck with tax bills based on fiction, The system cashed in on inflated values. Now it’s cashing out, on you https://t.co/w8isUZK6xi

They mined the data. Trained the models. Tried to cut out the appraisers. Harbor flips the script: regulate AVMs, pay the experts, and kill the middleman racket. Not a portal. Not a patch. A plan. https://t.co/Ie3Aja4YfK

2 appraisers sued for discrimination. No evidence, no merit, case dismissed. They lost business & thousands defending the obvious. Meanwhile, the law firm made $3M chasing ghosts. Justice? Oh, she was busy billing hourly. https://t.co/WAksBKWAmz

The AMC industry didn’t modernize appraisal, it monetized its collapse. AI just prints the receipts. https://t.co/7tBjP9eefc

Freddie Mac: where “crime” is too controversial for appraisals but perfectly fine for consumer brochures. Reality? Redacted. Irony? Baked in & taxpayer-backed. https://t.co/hwadZCUsF2

Appraiser uses AI to crush HUD bias claim & hitting back with a DOJ complaint. But beware: tossing nonpublic info into tools like ChatGPT risks GLBA/USPAP violations. External AI lacks privacy. Use internal tools, anonymize data. https://t.co/Rjm7V38JSV
