This Home Valuation Code of Conduct is not the right answer for the industry right now. This is going to drive the good appraisers out of the business. Minneapolis Real Estate's last blog post..Search Downtown Minneapolis Real Estate Condos and Lofts

Jeff – first, thank you so much for leaving such a well-reasoned comment.

Second – oversight seems to be the “overarching” message here – we need it! Society – or at least a fairly dominant portion of it – has a tendancy – much like water – to seek out the lowest levels. We need but look at the history books to provide numerous examples of this.
