Austin Texas Real Estate

What experiences if any have you had with the Home Valuation Code of Conduct?

JOECLINE — Wed, 20 May 2009 07:03:57 -0700

I posted a bit about my apprehension and frustration with my initial experiences with the HVCC. I'd love to know from others what you think, have had happen, or expect will happen. You can read my full post at HVCC frustrations, but respond on here so that we can have more involvement. My blog isn't anywhere near as popular as these wonderful inman forums.

Looking forward to your thoughts.
