"Appraisers" have had sweetheart arrangements with lending institutions for years. They over charge, under perform and frequently do drive-by appraisals. Look up the property and its recent value, never figure in landscaping or upgrades because they never even see the property, much less go inside. Then they come up with either a highball or a lowball figure depending on what the bank wants.

No more bank/appraiser relationships. They must. Be randomly chosen often by a third party.
