A Bay Area appraiser was ordered to pay $75,000 to a couple, Ron and Dominique Curtis, after their discrimination complaint was upheld. This settlement is part of a larger movement sparked by an ABC7 News documentary that highlighted systemic discrimination in home appraisals. The documentary, 'Our America: Lowballed,' not only helped them secure their settlement but also led to advocacy for new laws aimed at reforming industry practices. Clear Capital, the appraisal management company involved, agreed to employee retraining to prevent future discrimination.
Our award-winning documentary highlighted several acts of appraisal discrimination across the Bay Area and helped several families reach settlements for discrimination.
The appraisal management company sent a statement to ABC7 saying: 'Clear Capital appreciates being able to work alongside the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) to resolve this matter.'
