Rocket Mortgage contends that the allegations of appraisal bias are misplaced, asserting that the government unnecessarily links them to a discrimination case that tarnishes their reputation.
Francesca Cheroutes believed that the appraisal conducted by Maksym Mykhailyna was influenced by racial bias, noting that a visible "Black Lives Matter" sign was present during the appraisal.
The lawsuit raised by the Justice Department against Rocket Mortgage and others follows a complaint from Cheroutes, highlighting systemic issues with appraisal values in minority communities.
Despite previous appraisals valuing her home significantly higher, Cheroutes felt that the low appraisal of $640,000 was flawed, prompting her to challenge the findings through legal means.
