Home appraiser accused of racial discrimination

1. Multiply this incident by thousands and you can see how institutions have limited our ability to raise our standard of living.

2. dang why does our melanin skin produce such hatred and unfair treatment from these awful people

3. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that

4. You work hard to obtain a home and yet you still have racist idiots trying to keep you down no matter what. That appraisal valuation was downright criminal.

5. Racism is here to stay! Speaking out against it is our best defense.

6. This insanity makes no sense 😕

7. All these stories about unfair treatment and it’s still happening. People jus don’t Ike black people. We still have to bear the feeling of being unwanted. Sad man. Sad. Then life goes on

8. Why is this a shock to some people??

9. Going from $472k to $750k. I’d say there was discrimination. 🤐

10. This should be a hate crime!!

11. SHOCKED
    In America?
    No way

12. This happens alot

13. the law is b.s when whites are the ones creating and enforcing them. this should be automatic jail time.. this is a $300k theft

14. They should blame their own people for that.

15. Sue them

16. They do it to poor whites too The Bastards

17. What is wrong with people in America? America is a melting pot! This should never happen, ever!

18. That is horrific! I’m so upset for them.

19. While this is one incident, there are many Americans who struggle with the idea that racism exists. This is an example of it. That home, with its curb appeal, open floor plan or whatever its accommodations was the same regardless of who owned it. Either the first appraiser was bad at his/her job or they allowed race to affect their estimating. Viewing some of their appraisals in the neighborhood will determine which is true.

20. They also discriminate based on your names. I would get a friend to let them into your home. Do not let them see what you look like.

21. What a beautiful home!

22. Institutional racism smh

23. This is well known, there should be laws against this.

24. Privilege is invisible to those who have it.

25. Wow we in 2022

26. There it is….

27. Facts don’t lie. THEY tend to live in high bad areas with high crime , bad schools, etc 🌚

28. Even back in 1976 when I first started it wasn’t even 100% white

29. I want a class action lawsuit against banks that use racist appraisers. The goal of the lawsuit wouldn't be monetary awards but through discovery exposing the disparities in appraisals of homes based the race of the homeowners. We could be talking billions of dollars robbed from minority homeowners in the form of appraisals. Banks likewise would be loaning less meaning homeowners end up having to pony up more cash to buy a house. THIS kind of discrimination has generational impact!

30. Most ETHICAL appraisers simply look at the home address do comparables, examine the condition of the exterior to estimate the condition of the interior. If the home was listed in recent years (past 5), they would use that listing as a baseline for the sq footage, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, extra finished space such as attic or basement or bonus room above garage etc. Age of roof, furnace etc. can be inferred using such a listing. RACE of owner isn't a fact that's relevant or even interesting!

31. I'm not surprised! Not one bit. I'm upset though.

32. His wearing baggy pants and playing rap music during the appraisal cost him thousands 😂

33. KEEP EXPOSING THIS EVIL ACT! AND PEOPLE/ COMPANIES INVOLVED! JUST NOT RIGHT…

34. This happens a lot more than you think. They think we know nothing about finances and real estate. I 100% believe their story.

35. That means no actual racial discrimination occurred.

36. ABC still race baiting in August 2022, ratings don’t seem that good when all you focus on is race
