Your anger is justified, but misplaced.
An appraisers job isn’t to give their opinion about a shack in da hood, it’s to report what the previous fool paid.

An honest appraiser bears NO responsibility in this mess.
The govt allowed this to happen. Sales people were doing their jobs, many of them simply believing that they were doing the right thing.
Clueless sheep who BELIEVED that the rising prices
were valid.

Face it, many people are overpaid for what they do.
Until something like this blows up, people just think that they are “worth” what they are paid.
They are screwing their customers in exchange for a part of the profits.

People who sell cars, paper, equipment, real estate, or anything else are usually trying to sell as much as they can to make their commissions, with no regard of what benefit it is to the buyer.

There is such a thing as adding value to someones life, which is what I attempt to do. Many people are simply stubborn and ignorant and aren’t going to change.
Welcome to uneducated America.
