HVCC Ended Appraisal Fraud?

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac along with the Attorney General of New York created this great program called Housing Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC) that would solve all the appraisal fraud problems we have experienced over the last few years. While EVERY ONE in the business knew this was bad idea from the beginning the public was unable to let their voice be heard.

HVCC has not only resulted in higher fees and additional headaches for the consumer, a recent report shows appraisal fraud has actually increased by 40%. Another government intervention failure and I know there will be more to come.

When will they learn to talk to experts in the business before they create or pass new guidelines/laws?
