Maybe they should make some kind of law. It would be hard with home appraisals because one person is not going to make 2 different appraisals.

Can there be some task force set up to study how to fix these things? I have a hard time believing this happens in other, more progressive countries. We have become a damn third world country with the way we treat our people.
