Long Island Housing Services has created two free, plain-language guides for Long Islanders to tackle appraisal bias: https://www.lifairhousing.org/resources-links/ -bias

101: Understand the process. Home Appraisal Bias 101 explains how appraisals work, where bias can enter, and what warning signs deserve a closer look.

201: Build your response. Fighting a Biased Appraisal 201 shows how to review the report, document concerns, gather stronger market evidence, and submit a Reconsideration of Value request.

An appraisal can shape whether a Long Islander can buy or sell a home, refinance a mortgage, or access the equity they have built.

Unsupported adjustments, questionable comparable-sale choices, coded language, unequal treatment, or a pattern connected to a protected characteristic may warrant fair housing advice. Deadlines continue while you gather information. The earlier you act, the better.

The Booklets are available in your choice of:
• a PDF for reading and printing,
• a reflowable EPUB for e-readers, or
• an editable PowerPoint anyone may adapt to local needs under a Creative Commons license.

The resource page also includes the original 101 and 201 PowerPoint presentations.

Developed with funding from The New York Community Trust – Long Island.

Unbiased appraisals are part of fair housing. Fair housing is a right.

A DOUBLE-FEATURE PREMIERE

Long Island Housing Services presents a free narrated double feature about home appraisal bias.

THE REPORT IS NOT BEYOND QUESTION.

ACT I — HOME APPRAISAL BIAS 101
Understand how appraisals work, where bias or unsupported assumptions may enter, and which warning signs deserve a closer look.

ACT II — FIGHTING A BIASED APPRAISAL 201
Review the report, document concerns, gather market evidence, organize an evidence packet, and ask the lender to reconsider the value.

Watch both free videos:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfZQarK1Hwtw

A low appraisal does not, by itself, establish discrimination. A Reconsideration of Value challenges the valuation. A fair housing complaint addresses possible discrimination. Deadlines may continue while you gather information. The earlier you act, the better.

Open the full toolkit—companion booklets, accessible formats, editable PowerPoints, and original presentations:

If you suspect housing discrimination, write everything down as soon as possible: dates, names, property addresses, what was said, and copies of applications or emails. Save ads, voicemails, or texts that show discriminatory language. Documentation strengthens your case if you file a complaint. We can guide you through this process—don’t face housing discrimination alone. Contact us at (631) 567-5111 ext. 375 or [email protected].
