Leading Real Estate Appraisal Organizations Come Together to Present a New Series of Webinars on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Dec 14, 2021 ASA, Appraisal Institute (AI), American Society of Farm Managers & Rural Appraisers (ASFRMA), International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO), MBREA, and National Society of Real Estate Appraisers (NSREA) have come together to present a new series of webinars on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The first webinar, entitled “Revealing Relevance for the Appraiser Profession” will air Monday, January 31, 2022 from 1:00-4:00 PM ET. Registration for the first free webinar is available at: http://bit.ly/30CLfNb

Presenting experts David Doering, ASA, IFA, Robbie Wilson, ASA, RA, SRA, Scott Reuter, and Danny Wiley, SRA, will discuss the details of the Freddie Mac study, including questions/points from the research and what appraisers can do in light of the research findings; as well as how the three approaches of value inform an opinion of value; how comparable sale selection can lead to inadvertent effects on the opinion of value; and how neighborhood or market area determinations are made, and how this definition can cause inadvertent negative impacts.

Webinar Speaker Panel

David Doering, ASA, IFA, Missouri Property Appraisal, Inc.

Danny Wiley, Freddie Mac 

Robbie Wilson, ASA, RA, SRA, Advance Appraisal Group, Appraiser Instrutor.

This webinar will award 3.0 ASA continuing education hours. This webinar has not been approved by any state appraisal board for real property continuing education hours. A copy of the webinar video will be posted here when available.



Below are my personal notes from the three hour webinar. There were three main parts then Q&A at the end. Johnnie White of ASA was the host of the webinar. Left to right, top to bottom, Robbie Wilson, Johnnie White, Danny Wiley, David Doering, Scott Reuter.

Left to right, top to bottom, Robbie Wilson, Johnnie White, Danny Wiley, David Doering, Scott Reuter. 


1. Dave Doering and Scott Reuter were the first speakers talking about the Freddie Mac study. Scott Reuter wanted to clear up a few things. In the desktop appraisal there is a "floor plan" instead of a "sketch." The appraiser doesn't do the floor plan or sketch. It's provided by other sources. The desktop appraiser stays at their desk. Hybrid appraisals are basically a desktop appraisal with someone else providing some of the data for the property. 

Scott Reuter, FreddieMac: Typically we are going to use closed sales transactions which are going to lag current trends. We're not here to beat you (the appraiser) up. (He was referring to the Freddie Mac paper about appraisal gaps.) We have made no conclusions stating there is bias in appraisals. We are just seeing different results from different areas. 

While reviewing appraisals we noticed that currently there is about an 18% appreciation rate yet appraisers are only adjusting 5-6%. (My comment. We still can't go over the highest closed sales so even if we adjust for a full 18% appreciation, it won't change the final value. Maybe it will at least appease the borrowers)

There was an issue of language in reports. The two problems are discriminatory language which you just can't use and subjective language. What does "desirable neighborhood" mean anyway? It's vague. All areas are desirable or they wouldn't exist. Instead you can say the median price in one area is higher than surrounding areas.
















2. Robbie Wilson. Understanding the Three Approaches to Value. It was very difficult to understand what he was saying. I put in both ear buds, upped the volume, leaned forward and still had a problem. All the other speakers were very clear and understandable.

He explained value and the three approaches to value as if the viewers were not appraisers. He said appraisal technique has nothing to do with bias. Only people can be biased using the technology and methods just like the saying 'guns don't kill people. People do.' (Appraisers kill people? Not the best analogy. Now I realize why he posted a disclaimer at the beginning of his presentation saying everything is his own personal opinion only.)(Previously people were saying that the sales comparison approach/method was biased against black people because it relies on the sale of similar properties in similar areas. Andre Perry said this. Others said the resultant values were a product of redlining from years ago. Glad to see that Robbie doesn't agree with that idea.)

We need to do something about racism because of money. TAF said they would do something but they've done nothing. Redlining comes from these same government agencies. There is a mountain of evidence of systemic discrimination in housing. Everyone backs me up. Some are saying appraisers are not biased. Appraisers are biased. We need to kick them out. (He had 49 slides. Here are a few)















Robbie said maybe a sign like this hanging in the office would help. (Who has an office where a borrower would see it?)






3. David Doering, Residential Appraiser. Appraisal Considerations in the Selection of Comparable Sales.

Our current regulations already preclude bias. It's an ethics violation. Definitions of objective and subjective bias. USPAP regulations preclude being subjective. They are now including protected characteristics besides just protected classes. Protected characteristics are for example gender expression. 

There have been numerous isolated incidents of bias in the media. We don't know cause but it's a matter of public awareness. 

Everyone knows the three major determinants of value are location, location, location. You can use comparables from a similar neighborhood if needed. A subdivision is not a neighborhood. You can use comps outside of the same subdivision (I missed a few minutes)















Q & A

To Robbie Wilson: Q: Can an AVM be biased? A: The program writer can be biased. 

To Danny : Q: Will appraisers be involved in the UAD redesign? A: They already are. 

To Danny: Q: What is the difference between the sketch and floor plan? A: Interior walls must be drawn in floor plan. Appraisers don't do the floor plan. It comes from someone else. The redesign of the UAD form will come out 2024. The last redesign was 2005.

To someone: Q: Are property data collector standards being developed? A: I'm sure they are. (He didn't understand question about hybrid data collectors so Danny answered) Danny: I think he's talking about hybrid data collectors. We have data standards and training requirements. They're not Uber drivers and delivery guys. We are testing our data standards. 

To Robbie Wilson: Q: Any advice to anyone falsely accused of being biased? A: Facts will exonerate them. 

Danny answering above question. Your workfile is your friend. 40% of the time (in investigations) appraiser didn't have a true copy of the final appraisal report. They didn't save the last copy, version.

To Robbie Wilson: Q: There are not that many female appraisers. How can we get more female appraisers in the profession? A: Recruiting. 

I'll post the link to the video of the webinar here when it's available.

Bullet Proof Workfile Class by Robert Keller, Florida Real Estate Appraiser Instructor by Mary Cummins Appraiser

Bullet Proof workfile class, real estate appraisal, appraiser, appraisal report, robert keller, florida, real estate appraiser, appraisal, mary cummins, los angeles, california, record keeping rule, ethics rule, uspap

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2022 AT 10 AM – 11 AM PST

"Free Workfile class Bullet Proof Workfile 30-45 min by Robert Keller Florida real estate appraiser and instructor. In this informal seminar I will go over what is required to show support for your appraisal report if you find yourself in an investigation by a state agency. I defend appraisers and know what the state is looking for. This will be a Facebook live event." Not sic quote. 

Robert E Keller of REK Realty Advisors started at the top of a 1004 form and went through the entire form stating what records must be kept in the workfile for each data entry, line item in the report. The below is written by me, Mary Cummins. There were no handouts and I missed 15 minutes of the class in the middle.

Per USPAP Record-Keeping Rule, “An appraiser must prepare a workfile for each appraisal or appraisal review assignment. “ “an appraiser who willfully or knowingly fails to comply with the obligations of this RECORD KEEPING RULE is in violation of the Ethics Rule.” It includes "True copies of any written reports, documented on any type of media." It can also be reference to documents in the workfile such as county deeds which are stored someplace else. 

Below is a non-inclusive list of every pdf or paper document you need to save in your workfile. You basically need to save a printout of every document, file, web page, data set you used to fill out any and every part of the report. Appraisers need lots of digital or paper storage capacity. Please, go digital to save trees and lower your carbon footprint. I haven't used paper files since we were allowed to submit pdf reports in the 1990's. Have one folder for each appraisal with all your pdf files inside properly labeled and described. 

The purpose is to create a credible report for your client. Another purpose is to protect the appraiser in case there is a complaint or lawsuit. The better your workfile, the better your report and the better protected you are from complaints and litigation. 

All of these items must be in your workfile and not just in the report.

  • Engagement Letter or email.
  • Order in whatever form.
  • I'd also print out the entire AMC dashboard file page with comments, correspondence, list of documents, dates...after final submission if it's an AMC assignment.
  • Contract which is dated and signed by all parties. If it's not dated and signed by all parties, it's not a valid contract.
  • Copy of every report with every revision. You can "save as" a new raw file with an "a," "b" or date... after it for each revision, clarification request. You could also just save the submitted xml's which generally have a unique number at the end. 
  • Property profile, detail report where you got the size, zone, date built, bed/bath count...
  • Web address, government department, name of report where you got zoning information. I use this for Los Angeles City. Include the title of the zoning report in case the url changes. This link is also in my report. https://planning.lacity.org/odocument/eadcb225-a16b-4ce6-bc94-c915408c2b04/Zoning_Code_Summary.pdf I use this for Los Angeles County https://planning.lacounty.gov/luz/summary/
  • Where you got your FEMA flood map information. If you use Corelogic, a la mode, state a la mode. FYI a la mode is very inaccurate when it comes to flood zones. They even state that in their disclaimer. If you think it's near a flood area, go to the FEMA map online for your county or FEMA direct. An appraiser was sued and reported recently because he relied on a la mode flood maps. He didn't realize they are inaccurate. Three times so far I thought a property was probably in a flood zone but a la mode said no. I went to FEMA maps and they were in flood zones. One property was built over an active creek with bridge access only yet a la mode said it wasn't in a flood zone. This is why you should cite your sources in case your sources are wrong like Corelogic, a la mode.
  • HOA information. Include the HOA questionnaire or summary of conversation with HOA representative i.e. "Appraiser spoke with Jane Doe at ABC Management Company 213 555 1212 which stated there was no pending HOA litigation."
  • It income property, rent control information. In my area we have Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County and California rent control. I include links to the government rent control website information and the information which relates to the subject. 
  • One line MLS search result for subject comparables. This should be a pdf page.
  • MLS print out of comparable listing with interior photos which were used to denote condition of comps. You can print the file to PDF and click "with photos" which will give you all photos smaller.
  • How you figured out adjustments for each comp. Include your xml file, chart, spread sheet. 
  • Previous sales of comps. Print out the detail sheet for your comps. You are going to need a lot of storage capability. Please, don't use paper files.
  • Cost approach. Include the source or url of your cost estimator, estimates such as Marshall and Swift, local developer by name, building-cost.net or whatever you use. Print out the estimate you used. 
  • Anything else you relied upon to produce your report such as Spark, Appraisalmat, MLS... This could be building permits, any documents given to you by the seller or agent, MLS listing printout, property brochure, email from HOA stating HOA dues, budget, lawsuits... I include some of these in the actual report.

This list above is not inclusive. Include anything you relied upon to create the report. The idea is another appraiser should be able to recreate your report based only on your workfile. You must keep your workfile for five years or longer is there was litigation. 

Below are the regulations for record keeping from USPAP. 

"RECORD KEEPING RULE

An appraiser must prepare a workfile for each appraisal or appraisal review assignment. A workfile must be in existence prior to the issuance of any report or other communication of assignment results. A written summary of an oral report must be added to the workfile within a reasonable time after the issuance of the oral report.

The workfile must include:

• the name of the client and the identity, by name or type, of any other intended users;

• true copies of all written reports, documented on any type of media. (A true copy is a replica of the report transmitted to the client. A photocopy or an electronic copy of the entire report transmitted to the client satisfies the requirement of a true copy.);

• summaries of all oral reports or testimony, or a transcript of testimony, including the appraiser’s signed and dated certification; and

• all other data, information, and documentation necessary to support the appraiser’s opinions and conclusions and to show compliance with USPAP, or references to the location(s) of such other data, information, and documentation.

A workfile in support of a Restricted Appraisal Report or an oral appraisal report must be sufficient for the appraiser to produce an Appraisal Report. A workfile in support of an oral appraisal review report must be sufficient for the appraiser to produce an Appraisal Review Report.

An appraiser must retain the workfile for a period of at least five years after preparation or at least two years after final disposition of any judicial proceeding in which the appraiser provided testimony related to the assignment, whichever period expires last.

An appraiser must have custody of the workfile, or make appropriate workfile retention, access, and retrieval arrangements with the party having custody of the workfile. This includes ensuring that a workfile is stored in a medium that is retrievable by the appraiser throughout the prescribed record retention period.

An appraiser having custody of a workfile must allow other appraisers with workfile obligations related to an assignment appropriate access and retrieval for the purpose of:

• submission to state appraiser regulatory agencies;

• compliance with due process of law;

• submission to a duly authorized professional peer review committee; or

• compliance with retrieval arrangements.

Comment: A workfile must be made available by the appraiser when required by a state appraiser regulatory agency or due process of law.

An appraiser who willfully or knowingly fails to comply with the obligations of this RECORD KEEPING RULE is in violation of the ETHICS RULE."

Letter to Rob Hayes of ABC 7 News Los Angeles by Mary Cummins Real Estate Appraiser

I just saw there was an actual article about this here. 

https://abc7.com/racial-disparities-in-home-appraisals-bias-discrimination-diversity/11496088/

No response to the email. Many other appraisers sent emails and responded to the article online. No response. This proves these "journalists" knowingly spread this false narrative to get traffic and clicks to sell advertising. It's not about reporting the real news or facts. It's about sensationalist news. In this case it's false claims of bias and discrimination which further divides our nation and people. There is enough real racism, bias and discrimination in our nation that we don't need to invent it. People should be fighting real cases of racism. How about dealing with the root cause of the white black brown wealth gap? It's income. How about helping POC make more money? That would allow them to buy and own more expensive homes and have the same amount of money as white people. 

Email to Rob Hayes of ABC News 7

I'm a female Latino Appraiser in Los Angeles with over 38 years of experience. There were some inaccurate statements in your news segment this morning about "Bias in Home Appraisals."

The National Fair Housing Alliance ( https://nationalfairhousing.org ) you cite is a private non-profit organization. Their recent 84 page "report" is based on false and misleading data. It was not a research report. I wrote an article about the major errors here.

https://mary--cummins.blogspot.com/2022/01/identifying-bias-and-barriers-promoting.html

The biggest flaw is that the report is not based on "multiple studies." None of the "studies' were independent peer reviewed and published research. They were all papers written by individuals and groups with agendas. I will illustrate just one issue in that report i.e., "appraisal gap."

There will always be an appraisal gap in areas which are appreciating quickly due to the historical nature of appraisals. Per government regulations Appraisers must use closed sales. Closed sales will always lag behind current contract prices by two to three months. Home values have appreciated during that time causing a gap. 

Values have been appreciating quickly in the last few years. The faster the appreciation rate the larger the gap. Lower valued areas which generally have more POC which are revitalizing or what some call "gentrifying" will appreciate at a faster rate than the market as a whole. That is why there are greater appraisal gaps in those areas. I wrote an article about this issue here https://mary--cummins.blogspot.com/2021/11/appraisal-gap-what-is-appraisal-gap-and.html NFHA knows this but they promote the false narrative to create a racial discrimination issue so they can increase donations to their organization. The more outrageous the story the more donations they receive.

It is difficult for anyone of any color to become an Appraiser today because of the trainee/mentor program. It has nothing to do with race but the program itself. Yes, I wrote an article about that as well here https://mary--cummins.blogspot.com/2021/06/difficulties-becoming-real-estate.html They are currently working to modify the program.

Most importantly the Appraisal Institute ( https://www.appraisalinstitute.org ) is NOT the governing body of appraisers. AI is a private nonprofit just like NFHA. Appraisers are governed by multiple state and federal government agencies. Another article which explains it.  https://mary--cummins.blogspot.com/2021/08/who-oversees-regulates-real-estate.html

AI's board is 100% white and mainly male. It costs $15,000 to become an AI MAI Appraiser. Their members are by far more white and male than regular Appraisers due to the positive correlation between higher income and being white and male. I asked them about their scholarships for women and Latinos. They said I would have to pay to become a member then I could apply with no guarantees of actually getting a scholarship. There is no scholarship for membership fees. That's not really a scholarship offer. 

Another misleading issue is the "accuracy" of the Zillow Automated Valuation Method (AVM). Zillow itself states their values are not appraisals and should not be used for valuation purposes. They recently admitted their AVMs are highly inaccurate when they closed down their ibuying department because they over valued homes they bought and had to sell them for less than what they paid. All Appraisers know the "a" in "Zillow" stands for "accuracy."

Perhaps the next time you do a segment on Appraisers and appraisals you should interview a local experienced Appraiser instead of just relying on inaccurate information on the internet. You are helping others promote the false narrative of the "racist white Appraiser." The four main articles about "racist Appraisers" have been debunked yet they are still promoted. I researched and wrote articles about those cases which are in the blog above.

Sincerely,
Mary Cummins

Mark Alston was quoted in the article but not the video, "Mark Alston said the report will be an "invaluable tool in trying to offset the damage done by the wealth stripping activity of undervalued appraisals in communities of color and especially in Black neighborhoods." 

There has been no "wealth stripping" of anyone except the Native Americans who owned this land originally. Appraisers appraise homes based on what similar homes in the same area have sold for. That is the law. We don't use the price of sold homes in Beverly Hills to appraise homes in South Los Angeles and vice versa. That is a federal regulation to use the most similar sold home comparables. 

There is a confirmed correlation between people of color and lower incomes. It's also a fact that women earn less than men doing the same job. Women of color earn even less than men of color or whites. People who make less money have less money. They tend to buy homes which cost less because that is what they can afford. For this reason there is a correlation between POC and lower priced homes.They also own cars that cost less money than white people especially white men. That does not mean that wealth has been "stripped" from them. If people want to close the wealth gap, they need to close the income gap. Help these people make more money. Don't go blaming real estate appraisers for appraising their homes for less than homes in more expensive areas. Remember, the three main factors in home valuation are location, location, location.

Mark Alston is the President of NAREB which is the "National Association of Real Estate Brokers, Inc. (NAREB) was founded in Tampa, Florida, in 1947 as an equal opportunity and civil rights advocacy organization for African American real estate professionals, consumers, and communities in America." That is where Alston is coming from in this article.

Mary Cummins 38th Year Work Anniversary as Real Estate Appraiser in Los Angeles, California

mary cummins, real estate appraiser, real estate appraisal, los angeles, california, work anniversary, 38 years, appraiser, appraisal, real estate, linkedin, facebook, marycummins.com


I started getting a lot of "Congratulations on your work anniversary!" messages on LinkedIn. I didn't realize that I've been a real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California since 1984. I actually started in 1983 so it's almost 39 years. Time sure does fly when you're doing something you love. I still love real estate, homes, architecture, building design and numbers. I look forward to many more years in the industry.
