Sleazy, Shifty Appraisers Booted From Industry Now Shifting Into Real Estate Sales?

The Tampa Tribune reports:

• Some appraisers who lost their licenses after unethical behavior during the housing boom are staying in the real estate business. They're becoming real estate agents, according to a report by the national Center for Public Integrity. Instead of appraising homes for sale, some just obtained a license to sell homes for a living. The center's report found that in Florida and California, among the states hardest-hit by the foreclosure crisis, hundreds of individuals whose appraisal licenses were revoked have received other licenses that allow them to continue to represent the public in real estate sales.
