I’m African American, my wife is Asian.... we were refinancing our home. Appraiser walks in, looks at my wife and immediately cops an attitude; ends up trashing the value of my home with his appraisal. I went after his ass first, he found himself under investigation (by the state) and almost lost his license. Next I got the mortgage company that sent him. Our lawsuit became a class action lawsuit. The company went bankrupt, the owner of the mortgage company croaked during the lawsuit... and in addition to my home, I saved the home of hundreds of other minorities who had been victimized by racist mortgage companies and their associates. And yeah, I got paid. (This was during the collapse of 2007).

@Dave Z There are no 2 sides when it comes to institutional racism. Appraising a home isnt rocket science and there's a long history of racist people purposefully underappraising homes that are attached to black people. Just like how banks would put a "B" on loan applications to indicate to the loan officer that the person applying is black and therefore should be denied. Wells fargo got caught still doing this as recently as last decade. There are no 2 sides to institutional racism. Either this woman's home was purposefully underappraised or it wasn't.

Black people would not be able to vote, hold public office, serve on a jury nor any interracial marriage would be allowed. He was allowed however to be free to make a life for himself. Fast forward to 2020,:we can vote, serve on a jury, hold public and marry who you want. And pursued a better life for ourselves. All hard fought battles. But you know what, in many others eyes we're still seen as less than no matter what we've accomplished.

This piece is corporate propaganda using race to manipulate people into using a huge corporations computer program instead of tens of thousands of independent and experienced professionals that usually are small business owners. On top of that, the numbers just don't make sense. Historical appreciation since the time of their prior sale indicates 9% gain. Current appreciation indicates 18% gain. The 1st appraisal also indicated 18%. The 2nd appraisal indicated 58%! Not 1 AVM (including her own company) supports the 2nd appraisal. The state's tax appraiser is 10% from the 1st appraisal and 25% from the 2nd. And to top it all off, she refuses to release the reports and hasn't even filed a complaint against the 1st appraiser!

Typical appreciation is 6% per year in Jacksonville. She bought her house 3 years ago. The 2nd appraisal would have an increase in value of 58% in 3 years. How did she get 58% when the median is 18%? Where did that extra 40% come from? What else was 40%? The variance between the 1st and 2nd appraisal! Make sense?

Something similar had happened to me too. I called a place and the woman on the phone told me that there was a person moving out in 15 days and as soon as she moves out, I can move in. They asked me to send documents and immediately, I get a response by email stating that the woman who was supposed to leave had decided to extend her stay. My intuition told me that it didn't make sense and that she was lying. So I created an email address using a Caucasian name and I sent her an email pretending to be a Caucasian woman looking for a place for her daughter. Immediately, I get a response by email telling me the same thing that she had told me that there is a woman moving out in 15 days. I knew the reason why she rejected me is because she didn't like me. It's because she hates black people and because she is racist.

Appraisers get held to very high standards. ALL of our reports go through multiple quality control processes. Also, keep in mind, an appraisal is not the absolute highest value your house could potentially sell for. It is the most likely value that a typical buyer would pay in an arm's length transaction that the appraiser has the most credible support for.

There is also an accepted 10% variance for appraisals because they are opinions of value. You don't know which appraisal was correct. The bank choosing the one that gets the deal done means nothing.

This is why African Americans continue to argue the point of reparations. I was set to purchase a home from the builder D.R. Horton during the Obama era, in 2008. My credit score was good and I was suppose close on the property as a first time home buyer during the Obama administration which meant that I qualified for the $8000.00 first time home buyer program. When my closing date arrived (prior to the program ending date) I was put on hold and it wasn’t until after the $8000 first time home program ended that D.R. Horton decided to close on the house. I got so upset that I backed out of the deal.

I hate these kinds of stories. Why? Because I remember vividly being subject to this in Virginia, when I was moving for a job there! Me and another recruit, a sweet, kind White girl from Gainesville Florida, were told to take some time and find ourselves, some apartments. It made sense for us to ride together. But every time we hit a rental office, there was a wall of "don't have any apartments right now", even though the sidewalk sign would say things like "open for rental". They would always politely take our number and say we will "call you"! I realized that they thought we were an interracial couple, but naively that never crossed my co-workers mind. So I gave her an excuse to go looking on her own, although in a new unfamiliar city, she wanted me with her. She looked in the area between our hotel and the job, since she was now kind of familiar with it. She got an apartment that 'suddenly opened up', when she did a follow up inquiry, at one of the places we'd visited before. It took me a little bit longer, my door was only opened after I said to a rental office that I was going to complain to my company about getting resistance. My company at the time was Sears! Now here's what adds insult to injury! We both celebrated our apartment find and went to have breakfast together. We walk into a cafe and all of a sudden everyone went quiet. We got a table and sat, and sat, and sat, and sat! Finally, I said to the lady, "why are we NOT getting served"? It was only after my co-worker, showing frustration for the first time said something like, "we are management trainees and we have to get to our job"! Then everyone relaxed and the server began to give us the service we deserved! I'm getting hot writing this, because with Trump, I feel like I am back 40 years again! So I'm going to stop now!

As a former Realtor for years: An agent is the only one who might have motive to " block bust " or " steer " buyers away. The bias always comes into play with buyers; NOT the sellers. Now, as for a home appraiser or inspector; they inspect or evaluate the physical structure, land and are not involved with the buyers or sellers prices. they are paid no matter what; so even if they're grey from Cydonia, Mars; it's in the appraisers interest to come in high. They rely on referrals, so coming in that low, is definitely shooting himself in the foot. Ultimately the listing price is between the agent and the client. I can state with all certainty: the only color 99.9% of Realtors see is: GREEN!

It takes a lot of time and energy and know-how to do that. Are there any clouds on the deed are there any easements on the deed. Could you do a purchase-and-sale agreement correctly without making grievous errors. errors which cannot be walked back. Contractor /developers know this; building managers know this. that's why they don't hesitate to use us. in fact most real estate offices have keys to all of local apartment buildings so that we're always ready to bring people by and they don't have to give us keys. because they know how much time and effort it saves them so that they can do something else and make more money.

Strangely, it has been said that where TWO or more (people) are gathered in prayer, the prayer will be answered. Either that was a LOAD of BS or two people have NEVER (since that was written...wherever) prayed for the end of racism, for equality, for neighbors to love each other, for peace on earth. But, hang on... John Randolph Price had, for many years, a yearly, worldwide day of prayer for peace and Silent Unity prays for people for 30 DAYS STRAIGHT for the resolution to any problem/difficulty... Seriously, WTF? As Matt Dilahunty has said "Nothing fails like prayer".

i live in md in a predom black county where house values are low compared to mont co, arlington and fairfax with the same cheap houses but because those counties have majority white, their house values are higher, better stores and now with dc throwing blacks out, the house values there are insane...because they know blacks cant afford those prices....barr says no systematic racism, its everywhere in this country.

Typical appreciation is 6% per year in Jacksonville. She bought her house 3 years ago. The 2nd appraisal would have an increase in value of 58% in 3 years. How did she get 58% when the median is 18%? Where did that extra 40% come from? What else was 40%? The variance between the 1st and 2nd appraisal! Make sense?

Cool anecdote. She is worth 1.2m and her younger husband is worth 900k. She is a lawyer and a VP of a company that makes a product that they are trying to replace appraisers with. This piece is corporate propaganda using race to manipulate people into using a huge corporations computer program instead of tens of thousands of independent and experienced professionals that usually are small business owners. On top of that, the numbers just don't make sense. Historical appreciation since the time of their prior sale indicates 9% gain. Current appreciation indicates 18% gain. The 1st appraisal also indicated 18%. The 2nd appraisal indicated 58%! Not 1 AVM (including her own company) supports the 2nd appraisal. The state's tax appraiser is 10% from the 1st appraisal and 25% from the 2nd. And to top it all off, she refuses to release the reports and hasn't even filed a complaint against the 1st appraiser! This story is such bs it is crazy!

[@Adamopoly]

There were hundreds of blacks in America that owned slaves, Including Anthony Johnson. Anthony Johnson was a black Angolan known for achieving wealth in the early 17th-century Colony of Virginia. He was one of the first African American property owners and had his right to legally own a slave recognized by the Virginia courts.

Wish she didn't say she "devalued" the home. She did NOT "devalue" anything. The racist appraiser did that. The couple did nothing wrong. This happens all the time and yet *certain* people SWEAR that racism doesn't exist. This is ridiculous.

Absolutely unbelievable and so sorry you had to go through this type of behavior especially from whomever did the initial appraisal. Perhaps it makes sense to me as to why some of my creditors have closed my accounts despite the impeccable payment history I have. This year, these creditors have completely destroyed my credit. Again, so sorry to hear this happened!

It has been five months and she has yet to file a complaint with the state board or file a lawsuit. The only thing she has done in five months was create a new webpage so you can book her to be a speaker at an event. Money stunt. She's the VP of a company, Black Knight, that makes money on home values generated by computers and not human appraisers.
