Thank you!
She's a lawyer, earns higher income and still judged by her color
this is exactly why i get upset when people say class is the most important because it’s really not
"Exactly"
@@sharontaylor7844 yeah the “exact” premise that even when successful black people still aren’t seen as good enough
even if she wasn’t a lawyer and didn’t have higher income she should be respected. it’s just plain racism not classism
That's all true @ SNOW , @Brie, that's why I pointed it out. Some say if the financial playing field was leveled for blacks, then we'd get more respect, and this is an example where this theory proves false.
Her race didn’t devalue the home, the racism of the appraiser did that. That shame in no way belongs to her, slide that over to the racists where it belongs!
I was thinking the same thing. This just proved how much of an awful person that appraiser was. I'm sorry she had to do this, I'm sorry she questioned herself, and I'm sorry that there are people in this world who are so awful. Hopefully either that appraiser realizes their hate or spends their eternity in hell.
Are you an appraiser? Perhaps the low appraisal was correct. Perhaps the real number was in between the two appraisals. Perhaps the high appraiser was correct. You don't know. And nobody knows until both appraisals are reviewed by other appraisers.
Did two separate different people appraise that home ? This story is so one sided.
Preach!! I don’t know why she would even utter the word shame!! Anger is more like it
@@rubygreta1 It was a 100,000 dollar difference. You are playing make believe childish rationalization. 100 k difference is not a rational difference to begin with. You delude yourself with your own incorrectly functioning reasoning skills because bias pollutes data.
The Banks are complicit in this type of discrimination.
Right, exactly how this foolishness is perpetuated....
Well the end result would be a higher loan to value, so that in turn creates a higher interest rate if your refinancing. Think about it! The bank has a list of appraisers to choose from. Could there be a few that would take a kickback from a finance company for lowballing an appraisal? I don’t know if that’s realistic, but it certainly is possible. This could be a new type of redlining!
That’s against the fair housing laws. That appraiser should loose his license.
It was the first realtor. They have comps and they decide which price is the best. Appraisers in a physical way, are usually not involved. Realtors decide how much you can get for your house and it is why they try very hard to have houses looking like show rooms. Nothing personal !!!!! Staging is everything.
@Chocolate Mandingo they were just stating what they know to be true, whether it is completely accurate
@Chocolate Mandingo that's your pregrogative, we all have the right to our opinions, but I think you are making this into something that the commenter didn't intend for it to be about.
@Kathleen Flacy I was busy while watching the video so I missed the reason why they wanted to get their house appraised in the first so I apologize. I truly don't think they meant anything ill by their comment, but obviously we know refinancing is different than selling a home. Different agents can come up with different prices based on factors like other current comps in the area and what past houses sold for. I think they meant well to better explain the situation even if it wasn't entirely accurate and I think they were trying to get at what my sentence stated before this one.
Loose license, he is just a drop in the ocean

@@mariahezeako8603 so what did he do about it, or we just accept and say that's ok.
When she said that she devalued her home just by being there, paying the mortgage, and raising her son like the millions of other people, that was really hurtful.
I don’t even understand how it is possible when appraisals are all about comps. How was the appraiser not called out as incompetent and fired for undervaluing a house by over $100k!?
The racism goes deep and people of high status in society
Right it definitely wasn't a mistake. It was intentional.
I hope they sue.
The appraiser may be incompetent. But he did not deliberately do it. Why risk your license?
@@rubygreta1 if the appraiser is that incompetent he/ she should loose their license. But Iam sure all the appraisals that they have made are going to be checked out. If this is a pattern with a particular group it will show up. Either way I hope that the couple files a lawsuit.
@Sue your right!
I’m a Black female and I guess I sound “white” over the phone. I am always amazed at how differently contractors/repairmen treat me when they meet me in person and see that I’m Black.
I’m Hispanic this happens to me my maiden name sounds white and I still have not changed it to my married name. When some one shows up at my house they always ask if I’m me, And if I own the house. It’s crazy how surprised they are and even look annoyed. Also happens to my husband.

Proclaiming yourself a queen has to be the most prejudice thing a human could do.
@@dickhouseballsack693 And your name alone says you have no idea what we mean by Black Queen.
Which she definitely is.
20 pearls- I think she was embarrassed because instead of fighting and demanded respect, she gave in and gave the illusion of a White family living there while completely erasing her and her son’s Blackness. She’s also an attorney, so fighting for justice is second nature to her but she went against her nature.
Her race didn't affect the appraisal. The appraisers' racism affected the home's appraisal.
Exactly. How does she know the second one isn’t racist and was doing their job right? It’s impossible to know. But so easy to cry racism.
@@2011zeldafan Very "easy to cry racism" when its true. You seem a little slow in comprehension if you didn't understand that the second appraiser appraised the home's value similar to other homes in the neighborhood, instead of 40% less as the first appraiser did.

I love how he just sat there as a support system and allowed for her to express how she felt.
She works as a VP for a company that makes a product that they want to replace appraisals with. Not only will she not say the name of the appraiser, she refuses to release the reports and she hasn't filed a complaint (that would require her releasing the reports). Now, you know she has financial motivation to lie and she isn't being transparent... Does that mean anything to you, at all???
She makes the money, he's an artist so what's he gon do?
I'm sure he just sits there too while she goes to work. Ya'll give these white scrubs such a pass.🙄
@@janedoes5903 Lmbo! Right!
Why didn't they say that she's the maid?
I had my white friend go with me for tours, appraisals, and even to the bank. I was the "caretaker". They did everything except ask for her ID. They pulled the credit. The interest rate was wonderful. Both of our names are Jennifer so when he said, Ms. Jennifer, she responded. When the paperwork printed for signatures and they asked for ID, I handed over mine. He was pissed. He was at fault for addressing the person he was most comfortable talking to. When he tried to change the interest and price, he couldn't. The application was done over the phone and he never asked about race. But race was an issue because he chose to skip the basic step of identifying his client. I got my mortgage and immediately removed my savings and checking account from there. I had been a customer there since I was 18. I could never get approved even with near perfect credit and having been a nurse for 12 years. It sucks to have to go through thing like that because of the color of your skin.
God bless you 🙏♥️💯✝️
So sad.
Then why didn't you file a lawsuit? The bank laws are very clear
Amazing
@@paulallen9941 The court system is biased too .
This is illegal. The fair housing commission should be notified and whoever the appraisal and mortgage bank is should be either heavily fined, and made to publicly apologize for this discrimination.
But guess what, nobody is gonna be held accountable, because.....America.
The mortgage bank does not control the appraiser . The mortgage bank must have known something was not right with the appraisal in order to approve another one. That is very uncommon to allow another appraisal after one has already been completed. Also , research is done on the market BEFORE an appraisal is ordered to make sure the value needed to close the loan is likely to be confirmed by an appraisal. The appraiser has no motivation whatsoever to come in with a low value as they do not work for the bank. Loan officers get paid commission only on closed loans so they have zero motivation to scuttle their own loan. Mortgage banks make NO money if a loan does not close. Also , mortgage banks do not keep the loans , they sell them.
She not done, black woman with a law degree, go get them, and put that company on “blast” and I truly hope black homeowners stay the f$$k away from then ,, “Den of thieves “
sadly I don’t think Fair housing is anymore different.
Illegal but happens everyday
So she had to "WHITEWASH" her home just be treated as a regular homeowner. 🤦🏾♀️
No. She needed to decide whether to sell her home or not. When you keep yourself apart from the group, dont expect the group to choose you over others. Plenty of black people get this. What's wrong w you?
As a black woman this made me cry 😭 because I experience this on a regular basis. What a life.
Sorry, I know how this feels. It feels worse with bigots denying it every chance they get. This is the true shithole country.
She should’ve called the appraiser out by name.
she is a lawyer ; that would not be proper at this time.
That will only get him more business. Sad
This is so wrong. It will only get worse if Trump wins reelection.

My sister was advised to do the same thing in the 90s. She went on to conduct the same experiment and came to the same conclusions.
No black person is stunned (except for Robin Roberts). Just don't get why she's ashamed and why her husband didn't get to speak..
She's ashamed of the system.
@A. H. she hinted that she wasn't surprised but left her guard for a minute like we all do sometimes.
Husband was supportive, he did good
@Laijon White your last name is WHITE. we musta watched a different video then she clearly says she knew from jump what was up, always had like anything its the scale of the discrimination that varies, and it shocks but doesn't surprises any damned body.
how do you explain that Skip gates, who is married to a caucasianna was prevented from entering HIS OWN home in a white neighborhood and he is supposedly a champion of Blackness. Y'all Ninjas are hypocrites of the highest order. Talking out of both sides of yer mouth.
@Laijon White Don't think she believed she's more brilliant than the next person. The moral of the story is, racism is still a huge problem, you can't let your guard down.
Most black Homeowners know that if they want to sell their homes/refi, they have to remove the pictures. This is old news. Sad though.
Glad she brought it up ! it needs to change.
You fire them when they pull that crap on you. If a buyer wants to buy my home, we wil negotiate my selling price. Anyone realtor or appraiser who has low standards because of a person's skin complexion, get rid of that person, the right buyer will come!!!
I didn’t know that. That sucks
@@dhunt1212 Good Luck with that!
I remove anything personal like photos or even religious stuff. In actuality, the only slightly religious thing I own is a Thai Budda head, bc its sculptural and looks nice on a shelf with books. I try not to even have any specific cultural elements like tribal print rugs or blankets. Gotta keep everything non offensive.
Not only on home loans, but car insurance, credit cards, life insurance, consolidated bills, etc.
Life period
This EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO US.. AND YES WE LIVE IN JACKSONVILLE, FL....
I did this with my boyfriend when I needed fair treatment. I would have him handle things. It always went easier for him . He was always shocked at the results.

@@rehkopfsvidz1808 Only because you are not black and have never sat in front of a loan officer who looks at your excellent credit rating and dismisses it. I have been there!
@dh H Exactly!
Jacksonville here. I'm not surprised. The Appraiser should be confronted for answers. Start exposing these people who feel the need to try lift their self esteem by tearing down ours.
I am an appraiser. I can tell you 1st hand there is absolutely no motivation to lie because we all know that if we do the following things can happen:
1) the appraisal will get challenged. That means I am creating more work for myself having to defend the challenges. Everyone can do a ROV (reconsideration of value) that the appraiser must answer to.
2) If an appraiser did lie and it gets challenged and they can't defend it then the appraisal gets thrown out. Even if they didn't lie and the people just complain they will order a 2nd appraisal. So, being racist on an appraisal and going low doesn't ensure they will actually even end up with that appraisal.
3) if an appraiser has a lot of their reports challenged and then they have to constantly reorder 2nd appraisals (or more) then that hurts the appraiser's rating with that client. That means that you aren't getting much if any work. Why risk losing money over something that, again, isn't even a sure fire way to sabotage someone?
4) If an appraiser is suspected of truly showing discrimination and a complaint is filed, that is taken very seriously. You would definitely lose your certification over that. You could be sued and we have to hold minimum 1 million dollar policies. Why risk all that time in training and education (it takes about 5 years to really get going and it isn't easy to find mentors) and a pretty good income considering all the other things I said?
Now factor that into what I said about appreciation rate. Here is an easy way to view it:
Historical rate over 3 years= 9%
Current rate over 3 years= 18%
1st Appraiser's rate over 3 years= 18%
2nd Appraiser's rate over 3 years= 58%
Does that make any sense???
Lastly, her house has an unpermitted addition. This adds in GLA, an additional bedroom and an additional bathroom. Right there could be a large value variance if the 1st appraiser (rightfully) did not include it and the 2nd appraiser (incorrectly) did include it. Add in that there is an accepted 10% variance between appraisals because they are opinions of value and not fact and you have a pretty large amount. Then add in time of sale factors and you don't know how long they waited between doing the 2 appraisal. Just a couple of new sales can change a lot in a short period of time.
After all of that, if you still feel this was racism even though the news story only gave you 1 side of the story then I have to say I do not think you are being honest. Either with me or yourself but there is no way you can deny what I said.
@@usthem7172 Thank you for the education. However, you're speaking as a professional. The disparate impact, especially in today's climate is a festering wound that does not seem to heal. We are tired, but still I stand.

I just wish there was a way to punish companies that continue these practices. They should not be allowed to thrive.
There is. Racial discrimination in housing has been illegal for over 50 years. They have a cause of action and can sue. I don’t know why they wouldn’t. Racial testers have been used for years to provide evidence of racial discrimination in lending. That’s essentially what she’s already done with the two different appraisals. Also, state and federal fair housing agencies can investigate and take other action against individuals or companies who engage in racial discrimination.
Hello people this has been going on for years.
💯
Shameful the way she was treated. What's even more shameful is all the Americans walking around talking about racism doesn't exist.
Exactly. Racism doesn't exist because they don't have to live with it

@Picolas Cage good job with writing all of that...don’t get me wrong, it was informative but it misses the point: you are denying the existence of systemic racism by picking apart on one story. You shouldn’t need a news story to show you something that millions of people (POC and white) know about our country. you look at the trees while empirical evidence shows trends and the bigger picture. Housing in Black communities are consistently devalued. Ask yourself why you didn’t know this. Also, your anecdotes and your info from your one appraiser friend does not undo the decades and current racist actions of thousands of appraisers and banks. Stop trying to find a way to undermine the testimonies and fact-based, well-supported truths of Black Americans. PS centuries old behavior didn’t end at all: Emmitt Till was lynched within your parent and grandparents life time. Desegregation was ending the apartheid state our country created however integration has not been achieved. How can you say old behaviors are not current /don’t have continued impact?? Read a book

Wtf does someone’s race have anything to do with an appraisal on a house!? I hope that appraiser loses their damn job .
I asked the same question. That goes to show you how idiotic a certain race of people are. It doesn't make sense.
I HATE THIS !!!!! Humanity is so cruel. No one should ever have to do this just to appraise your home accurately.
Just think - women are still treated unequally due to their sex.
Thats not humanity. Thats world's richest country called 'murica!!!
It's so heart breaking how we black people are treated in America.
This is the only home we know. We need to call out more of these racial inequalities. Hopefully the first appraiser will loose their license.
That company should be held to account.
I agree. It takes generations to change. I hope for the best for this country having lived through the sixties, but I don't know. Pride and envy are real and destructive.
I totally agree. I will never stop saying how sick this is. How sick racism is in general
That's not the only home u know, u can try to come to Africa and learn more about Africa if you want but u choose to say America is the only home u know sorry that you guys are suffering in America though.
not every black person is being treated badly
if u dont like america there are plenty of other countries. but theres a reason why u still never leave after all ur bitching and complaining.
Same thing happens when making insurance claims with the home as well. I had a horrible experience with Traveler's Insurance
That is just the insurance company. White people have the same problem. Why do you think white people are different?

I don't know that you could even consider this "hateful." The appraiser may have not even known they were doing it. It is so ingrained in white society that it is subconscious in most people. I know very liberal people who would never use the N-word, who never utter racial slurs, but still hold biases that they don't realize until pointed out.

As a Black American who owns property, it’s is a given to remove all signs that black people live in the home when you appraise or sell your home. It’s is infuriating but necessary to get a fair price. Even then, if they are determined, they will find out and you’ll need to start over again like she did.

Ultimately I don't want to see people get hurt. I believe the root cause of people's bitterness towards white people and the government is due to the failure of the local churches.
The churches uplift people who are angry in an attempt to be palatable for the masses to fill their coffers.
We should be uplifting the gospel of Christ so that nobody feels victimized or feels the need to overthrow or change governments through violent means.

This is seriously disappointing 🤦♂️. I can’t believe she’s having to go through this even in the modern era as a successful person.
The system that allows these type of things to exist should be changed.
LoL ok
Oh sweetie, it shouldn't change, it should be demolished. This is not some oversight in the system, you know, the system is working exactly as it was meant to. It needs to be destroyed and rebuilt with a system that have everyone in mind.
The system is already set up against Blacks and minorities in this country; Change is no where in sight 🤔
Aw ya think?
Tell this to Donald Trump
This is disgusting and it shouldn’t matter if you’re black or white, a house is a house. I’m so upset for this family and others who have also been through this. I obviously can’t understand what you’re going through but please know that my heart aches for you.
I live in Australia and I have always treated everyone with respect regardless of skin colour. I see people for who they are and how they treat people, I’ve lost many friends over the years because I won’t go along with disgusting racist jokes and mindsets, I’d prefer to have no friends than lose my morals (which is almost where I’m at now).
Serious undervaluations happen to white people all the time and they have to get a new appraiser. I think this poor couple jumped the gun and proved their own faulty conclusion. I wish they had gotten a second estimate before changing their house around. Now they are worried the world hates them. I don't think it is racially motivated which makes this even more sad that the news networks picked it up and are spreading fear. There are many really terrible appraiser out there and you kind of have to work around the stupid.
Edit: In the US anyway. Not sure how it is in the AU. The housing market in the US has a lot of issues in general that cause things like this all the time.
I am so with you there. We just have to keep going and push these values onto our children in hope that one day it wont happen and people wont be judged for the color of their skin. I know it's a long shot but I can hope. Its incredibly gross that this happens right down to the police shooting unarmed black men or black children. I tell my kids it's the heart that matters not what someone looks like on the outside.
I have found that White people from other Countries do not mis treat any one based on Race. That is until they come to the United States and becoming rated indoctrinated.
This happened to my parents in the 90s. Now that I own as an adult, I was stressed. However, Covid meant I got a virtual appraisal and that is the one positive thing that covid did. Redfin and Zillow have been positive players in the fight for equality in this realm as well I think.
Please! This happens all the time. I have looked at homes on the Internet, joined real estate search engines and finding that all my searches are getting redirected to areas most populated with people of color and where the value of homes are extremely low. I even had a real estate agent try to redirect me into other areas where I don’t want to live. I was like they’re not even hiding it. I guess it’s the reason why 45 keeps telling suburban housewives to thank him. Housing discrimination has always. Sadly we don’t really expect things to change because we’re not welcomed in our own country no matter what. But thanks for shedding light though for whatever it’s worth. No surprise for black people.
That's right, I thank 45 for keeping our neighborhoods safe and clean.

You're right, and we all get that, her included I'm sure, but still, I understand what she means by that. The knowledge that your life is tangibly valued so much less than that of white people by society that your very presence brings down the worth of a place - there's something about that that just kneecaps your pride. Mainly because of how it affects your control over your life and place in the world, and the sense of powerlessness to change something so systemic (she had to extricate herself from the equation and let her white husband handle it for her).

That’s so sad that she had to take the photos down, I can’t even begin to imagine how hard that whole process must’ve been.
I live close to Jacksonville FL what is the name of the appraisal company she used prior?? I want to know who NOT to use.
I am an appraiser. I can tell you 1st hand there is absolutely no motivation to lie because we all know that if we do the following things can happen:
1) the appraisal will get challenged. That means I am creating more work for myself having to defend the challenges. Everyone can do a ROV (reconsideration of value) that the appraiser must answer to.
2) If an appraiser did lie and it gets challenged and they can't defend it then the appraisal gets thrown out. Even if they didn't lie and the people just complain they will order a 2nd appraisal. So, being racist on an appraisal and going low doesn't ensure they will actually even end up with that appraisal.
3) if an appraiser has a lot of their reports challenged and then they have to constantly reorder 2nd appraisals (or more) then that hurts the appraiser's rating with that client. That means that you aren't getting much if any work. Why risk losing money over something that, again, isn't even a sure fire way to sabotage someone?
4) If an appraiser is suspected of truly showing discrimination and a complaint is filed, that is taken very seriously. You would definitely lose your certification over that. You could be sued and we have to hold minimum 1 million dollar policies. Why risk all that time in training and education (it takes about 5 years to really get going and it isn't easy to find mentors) and a pretty good income considering all the other things I said?
Now factor that into what I said about appreciation rate. Here is an easy way to view it:
Historical rate over 3 years= 9%
Current rate over 3 years= 18%
1st Appraiser's rate over 3 years= 18%
2nd Appraiser's rate over 3 years= 58%
Does that make any sense???
Lastly, her house has an unpermitted addition. This adds in GLA, an additional bedroom and an additional bathroom. Right there could be a large value variance if the 1st appraiser (rightfully) did not include it and the 2nd appraiser (incorrectly) did include it. Add in that there is an accepted 10% variance between appraisals because they are opinions of value and not fact and you have a pretty large amount. Then add in time of sale factors and you don't know how long they waited between doing the 2 appraisal. Just a couple of new sales can change a lot in a short period of time.
After all of that, if you still feel this was racism even though the news story only gave you 1 side of the story then I have to say I do not think you are being honest. Either with me or yourself but there is no way you can deny what I said.
@@gee9291 I wrote this in reply to someone else before but you should read it too... In Florida, for assessed value they use a rate of about 85% of the state's appraisal's value (state has staff appraisers). The assessed value was about $315,000 according to their county records (public record everyone can look it up). $315,000 is about 85% of a value of $370,000. The 1st appraisal was about 10% from $370,000 and the 2nd appraisal was about 25% from $370,000.
Then you have the fact that they are trying to say their house is 2,600sf with 4 bed and 4 bath when county shows it as 2,300sf with a 180sf addition (possibly unpermitted) and 3 bed and 3 bath. Essentially every single piece of data supports the 1st appraiser's results over the 2nd appraiser's results.
Just the appreciation is enough. How did her house appreciate 58% in 3 years when the median appreciation in that time was 18%? And that 40% variance in appreciation is also the variance between the 2 appraisals! What a coincidence! Math... it is a hell of a tool.
This screams wrong! I don’t understand how people can think that human life is devalued by the tone of ones flesh.
It is very difficult to live life in present Times .God bless you mam. ..
It's Just pure Hatred.
And it's sad that alot of people spend a good chunk of their lives trying to keep other races of people at the bottom as if they're going to be on this earth forever.
It's what the U.S. was founded on and a way for many to feel "above" other people. It's ingrained in the culture. It'll take time to dwindle but I'm hopeful.
Trust me it hurts,even at work they won’t pay you the same amount as the white people/Spanish ones,even when you have more experience and do must of the job😫
It wasn’t because of her race, it was because of racism. I could say the low appraisal was because of the appraiser’s race.
She should have contacted the first and second appraiser to inform them of the "experiment".
This is why American is going through what we are. Im not her and it hurt my feelings. Were all humans at the end of the day.
This is why black Americans have been saying for centuries that racism is institutional. It infests every facet of American life. Also, for Trump to have destroyed the very fabric of America's democracy the way he has and to still have over 40 percent support from the electorate is just more evidence how rotten American society is.
@@deanjones2525 Take a look at the cities that democrats run and run into the ground. Those cities are falling apart because all democrats do is give promises and after they get the black vote they forget about the people. All of the run down dumpy cities are run by democrats. Also there are just as many black racist as white. Both are wrong, a good person is a good person no matter what color they are.

Was an appraisal review by another appraiser in that area done on the first appraisal? What comparable sales and listings were used to value the home? This story lacks context and doesn’t even to begin to explain how an appraisal is done. Appraisers don’t just make up a number without having support from the market and a report that explains why the appraiser believes the property is worth that value. I’m an appraiser and it’s hard for me to believe one appraisal was 40% lower just because the appraiser was purportedly racist. There are almost certainly many other factors at play.
If we’re doing this to our own fellow citizens, what, then, gives us the moral and legal right as a country to criticize and sanction others for doing the very same thing we’re doing???

I am a black woman . A very black woman . I was lucky to raise my boys in a million dollar home, in a million dollar predominantly white neighborhood. We lived in the home for almost 17 years and loved it . When we first got it I couldn’t wait to make it ours . I picked every wall color , fussed over every door nob , planted every plant and spent sleepless nights over every pool tile and light fixture that I put into it . It was almost 6000 sq ft and I wanted to make sure every corner felt just as warm and cozy as the last . It was a beautiful but practical home . It was not a museum but a home that hosted fancy cocktail parties , with as much frequency as birthday and Tupperware parties . We made many wonderful memories there . Last year after a long struggle with cancer I decided it was time to down size . I was tired of maiming a 6 bedroom 8 bath home . From my experience as a real estate agent of almost 20 years , I knew that to get the most out of my home and to sell it quick I had to remove all evidence that a black family lived in the home . Luckily we could afford to move out and leave the home “neutrally” staged for sale. Like this woman I was ashamed I had to do what I did . I had loved , designed and cared for that home . We got many offers and the buyers’ agents called with compliments from the potential buyers about how well kept and beautifully designed and decorated the house was . Never once seeing the faces of the woman and family that had made it so 😢😢😢

Sad. Honestly I understand why but damn now our children will be changing photos for their homes. Cycle continues. We have to speak out more but money rules and white supremacy does too
Well, it is sad, you feel you had to hide your heritage, to sell your house, for a good price. To a degree we all compromise and keep certain things hidden, just to appear neutral, while blending with expectations. We have a world that is complex while tolerating hypocrisy on many levels. We navigate through it, but should never take personally , the obtuse minds of some people, we may have to deal with as they are insignificant.
If the bank said that the price was too low then its the truth🗣💯.
This happens to us all the time. I fought with Wells Fargo to get my mortgage a few years ago. I had perfect credit, money in the bank, was on my job for over 15 years.. they tried everything not to give me a mortgage...this is what happens to us every day..
