The Appraisal Institute is grappling with serious allegations of sexual harassment, particularly against a figure named Steinley, who has been accused of inappropriate conduct. Former CEO Cindy Chance has publicly criticized the culture within the organization and has filed a wrongful termination suit after suggesting that efforts to improve relationships between appraisers and appraisal management companies (AMCs) were met with resistance. This reflects a wider discontent among appraisers, who feel the Institute does not adequately represent their interests and seems overly compliant with AMCs.
The Appraisal Institute is committed to a safe and respectful environment for all our employees and members, and nothing short of that is OK.
Cindy Chance, the former CEO, said Steinley manipulates and controls people through sexual harassment, adding he often referred to her as his girlfriend.
Many appraisers feel the Appraisal Institute does not represent their best interests, capitulating too often to appraisal management companies.
Chance believes her firing was connected to her efforts to change the dynamics between appraisers and AMCs, calling what she observed behind the scenes disturbing.
