Many families across the South and West side of Chicago have experienced appraisal bias and discrimination resulting in significant devaluation of homes and neighborhoods. We are committed to reforming the appraisal system and protecting homeowners and your their home value

 

What is an Appraisal? 

An appraisal determines the value of your home when you are trying to buy a home, refinance, or sell. Appraisers are in charge of determining this value, but sometimes their estimation can be lower than expected. This happens more often to Black and Brown homeowners, and data shows that it is prevalent in neighborhoods of color.
