A temporary federal regulation instituted in 2009 to keep coercion, bribery and fraud out of the home appraisal process has riled the group it was designed to protect: appraisers. Now the Federal Reserve Board of Governors is in the process of implementing an almost identical set of rules permanently. The 2009 regulation, known as the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (PDF), was intended to create a firewall between mortgage brokers and home appraisers. Under the regulation, mortgage brokers must order an appraisal from an appraisal management company, which then randomly selects an appraiser in the area.

The Home Value Code of Conduct (HVCC) was enacted in May 2009. HVCC requires mortgage lenders and brokers to order appraisal reports through an independent management company. The idea is to prevent loan originators from unduly influencing an appraiser to "hit a number" that may be required to get a loan done. I wrote about HVCC about a year ago and described it as "curing dandruff by decapitation." A year later, my opinion hasn't changed. Let's recap.

If you have had an appraisal on your home, you may have paid an inflated fee. Here is how it works: You apply for a loan and frequently the bank has an appraisal management company handle appraisal procurement and processing. It asks an appraiser to do your appraisal for $225. Typically the appraiser is instructed not to disclose the fee to the borrower. The borrower is charged up to $500 for the appraisal, and the company pockets the difference. Why is this a problem? An experienced appraiser, who pays for errors and omissions insurance, membership fees on the MLS boards and both sides of Social Security taxes, cannot afford to do such an appraisal. Often, the only ones to accept the low fees are the most inexperienced appraisers, who don't have any established clientele.
