In reply to Pamela DeSimone on Facebook. Actually that’s not a workable long term solution, being simply a different but still equally direct form of discrimination. In fact, such is the sought after reaction why marxists would implement these kinds of systems in the first place, because the lack of equal and fair servicing will be used as justification to replace human appraisers for state controlled automation and bureaucratic minders whom are neither independent nor fair minded.

In reply to hammering hank. HH, I don’t usually feed the trolls, but what makes you think that you are qualified to determine what “common sense guidelines” for appraisers are? You obviously are not an appraiser and appear to be in way over your head. So, perhaps, presenting a valid argument for your position in lieu of name-calling would be more persuasive and/or at least meaningful.

In reply to Mark S. Davis. Troll? Name calling? You gonna cry… boo hoo. I guarantee I have more experience appraising than you do. 2nd. Common sense guidelines? Is there something confusing about promoting or exhibiting straight forward ethics in appraising? That IS the issue here. It is appropriate to question what a “educated” opinion based on available data points is.
