A fellow appraiser is in need of your assistance. Many of you may have heard a Maryland Appraiser, Shane Lanham is the defendant in a law suite for a “low opinion of value based on the race of the homeowner.” Shane is counter suing the accuser for defamation as this has been a very publicized story. Lets be clear, he is not just fighting for himself, he is fighting for each and every appraiser.
As you can imagine, Shane’s legal expenses are high and Shane has reached out for some assistance.
VaCAP is supporting Shane as he fights to clear his name and the reputation of all appraisers. Racism claims have gotten the media attention and not one story has told the appraiser side. Shane’s determination and dedication in this fight are endless. VaCAP supports Shane and all appraisers in this tiresome fight.
VaCAP will contribute a $1,000 to Shane’s GoFundMe page. We encourage every appraiser to donate what you can. You can see Shane’s story and donate on his GoFundMe page. .

I am in the Richmond, VA market and have already been accused of racism. I completed a purchase in a vacant home and met no one. I had an (Anonymous) complaint (It was the agent) sent to DPOR stating the low value MUST have been because I am a racist. It was a garbage complaint, however very alarming this is the dirty tactics being used. I feel for this guy.
