OT 'whitewashing'

[SlyPokerDog]

Black couple SUE real estate agency after their Bay Area home was valued at just $995,000 - but $1.42m when they removed all photos and asked a white friend to pose as its owner for viewing with second expert

• Paul Austin 45, and his wife Tenisha Tate Austin, 42, say they believe race was the reason their home in Marin City in the Bay Area was undervalued
• The couple bought their home in 2016 for around $890,000 but was valued at only $995,000 despite spending $400,000 on renovations
• When their white friend posed as the owner, it went up in value to $1,482,000 - almost $500,000 more
• Their friend even put photos in their home to make it appear that she lived there in a process dubbed 'whitewashing'

Same real estate company or agent or inspector making BOTH estimates?
That makes a big difference. We had 3 different agents give us 3 drastically different estimates on what our home was worth.
