S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Let's walk through a scenario.
0:01
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
An appraiser is hired to complete a residential appraisal for a purchase transaction.
0:05
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Before the inspection even takes place,
0:07
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
the loan officer tells the appraiser the contract price is $525 ,000 and
0:11
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
says, we really need this one to work.
0:13
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
If it doesn't come in at value,
0:15
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
the deal may fall apart.
0:16
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Now, during the inspection,
0:17
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
the buyer's agent is also pointing out sales they believe support the contract price.
0:21
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
In fact,
0:22
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
they hand the appraiser a list of sales selected by the seller and explain why they
0:26
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
think those sales prove the property is worth the contract amount.
0:29
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
As the appraiser reviews the market,
0:30
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
something interesting emerges.
0:32
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Several of the sales being promoted are actually superior to the subject property.
0:35
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
At the same time,
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
there are two lower price competing sales nearby that appear to be more comparable,
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
but nobody mentioned those.
0:41
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
After leaving the property,
0:42
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
the appraiser begins feeling some pressure.
0:44
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Not direct pressure to falsify anything,
0:47
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
but pressure nonetheless.
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The appraiser knows everyone involved wants the transaction to close.
0:51
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
When preparing the report,
0:52
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
the appraiser gives significant weight to the sales that support the contract price.
0:56
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The lower price competing sales receive less discussion.
0:58
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Positive adjustments are applied to those lower sales,
1:01
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
and those adjustments move the indicated values closer to the contract amount.
1:05
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The appraiser doesn't make up data,
1:06
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
nothing is fabricated,
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
but the analysis is clearly moving toward a desired outcome.
1:10
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The final value opinion comes in at exactly $525 ,000,
1:14
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
matching the contract price.
1:16
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Later, a complaint is filed and the appraisal is reviewed.
1:18
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The reviewer notes that the lower -priced competing sales were actually more comparable.
1:22
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The adjustments applied to those sales weren't well supported,
1:25
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
and the reconciliation appears to be driven more by the desired result than by
1:29
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
market evidence.
1:29
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
As a result,
1:30
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
a regulatory concern is raised.
1:32
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Did the appraiser allow bias,
1:34
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
client pressure,
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
or advocacy to influence the assignment results?
1:38
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
That's the question I want you to think about.
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Did this appraiser remain impartial and independent or did subtle bias influence
1:44
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
the assignment?
1:44
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Now, before we answer that question,
1:46
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
let's look at how USPAP defines bias.
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
USPAP defines bias as a preference or inclination
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
that precludes an appraiser's impartiality,
1:55
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
independence,
1:56
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
or objectivity.
1:57
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Merriam -Webster defines bias as an inclination of temperament
2:01
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
or outlook, especially a personal and sometimes unreasoned judgment or prejudice.
2:05
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Notice that neither definition requires fraud.
2:08
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Neither definition says someone has to intentionally falsify information.
2:11
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Bias can be much more subtle than that.
2:13
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
This scenario illustrates one of the most common threats to appraisal credibility,
2:17
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
and that's pressure to support a transaction outcome.
2:20
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
What's important here is that nobody explicitly told the appraiser to hit a number.
2:23
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Instead,
2:24
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
the pressure was subtle.
2:25
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The loan officer said,
2:27
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
we really need this one to work.
2:29
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The buyer's agent steered the appraiser toward certain sales.
2:31
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Those kinds of comments happen every day in appraisal practice.
2:34
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The danger is that an appraiser can slowly begin focusing on evidence that supports
2:38
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
a desired outcome while paying less attention to contrary evidence.
2:42
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
In the real world,
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
bias often doesn't look like outright fraud.
2:45
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
It can look like selectively emphasizing certain sales or minimizing contrary evidence.
2:49
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
It can look like unsupported adjustments.
2:51
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Or it can appear when an appraiser begins reconciling toward a number because everyone involved
2:56
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
wants the deal to close.
2:57
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
So what actually went wrong here?
2:59
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The problem isn't that the final value matched the contract price.
3:02
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
There's nothing wrong if that's where the evidence leads.
3:04
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The issue is how the appraiser got there.
3:06
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The lower price sales appeared to have been more comparable,
3:08
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
yet they received less emphasis.
3:10
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The sales supporting the contract price received greater weight.
3:13
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The adjustments applied to the lower sales appear aggressive and lack strong support.
3:17
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
When you put all of those facts together,
3:19
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
the reconciliation begins to look outcome -driven rather than evidence -driven.
3:23
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The concern is the process.
3:25
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
This is where USPAP comes into play.
3:27
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The ethics rule requires appraisers to perform assignments with impartiality,
3:31
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
objectivity,
3:32
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
and independence.
3:32
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
That means we can't allow a client's objectives,
3:35
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
a party's financial interest,
3:36
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
or transaction pressure to influence assignment results.
3:39
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The USPAP preamble reinforces this concept by emphasizing integrity,
3:43
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
impartiality,
3:45
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
objectivity,
3:46
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
independent judgment,
3:47
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
and ethical conduct.
3:48
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Those principles are the foundation of public trust.
3:50
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Once analysis starts being shaped by a desired outcome,
3:53
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
credibility begins to erode.
3:55
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
This is also a good reminder that bias isn't limited to obvious misconduct.
3:58
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Bias can show up in much smaller ways.
4:00
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
For example,
4:01
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
giving greater weight to evidence that supports a preferred outcome,
4:04
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
minimizing stronger contrary evidence,
4:06
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
using unsupported adjustments that move values toward a desired result,
4:10
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
reconciling toward a contract price because the transaction needs to work.
4:14
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Those are all warning signs that an appraiser may be drifting away from independent judgment.
4:18
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The appraiser may genuinely believe they're being helpful.
4:20
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
But if the analysis is no longer being driven by the most credible market evidence,
4:24
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
bias may still be present.
4:26
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
And if a regulator,
4:27
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
lender,
4:27
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
or court concludes that bias influenced the analysis,
4:30
S… Speaker 2 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
the consequences can be significant.
4:32
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The report's credibility may be questioned.
4:34
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Disciplinary action is possible.
4:36
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
There could be litigation exposure and damaged professional reputation.
4:39
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Interestingly, the biggest problem often isn't the final value conclusion.
4:42
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
It's the pattern of analysis that suggests the appraiser favored an outcome.
4:46
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
So what's the lesson here?
4:48
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
The lesson is that appraisers need to recognize pressure before it becomes bias.
4:51
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
We need to monitor our own decision -making process.
4:54
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
When you're working through an assignment,
4:55
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
ask yourself,
4:56
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
am I giving undue weight to evidence that supports a preferred result?
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Am I minimizing stronger contrary evidence without adequate support?
5:03
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Would another competent appraiser view my reconciliation as objective and credible?
5:08
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Am I exercising independent judgment or am I trying to make the deal work?
5:11
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
Those are simple questions,
5:12
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
but they're powerful questions.
5:13
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
And they help translate USPAP's ethics rule and the principles in the preamble
5:17
S… Speaker 1 (2.4.3_Identifying-Avoiding-Bias_ 1080p_caption)
into everyday appraisal practice.
