That’s not a valid experiment.

Appraisers can vary wildly and while it’s possible the first one might have been raciss the mere fact that she called out a 2nd appraiser and probs it invoked racism on the call could’ve meant the 2nd appraiser was ordered to give an above average appraisal.

You’re better off getting a detailed list of why the house was appraised lower than expected.

Absolutely true. All banks and lenders know at least one appraiser who will “listen” when the lender lets them know that there’s a target that they’d like to be “hit”. Such accommodating appraisers thought process likely begins with “well, it’s their money”.
