The Appraiser Coach Podcast

We are joined today by Bryan Reynolds of Appraiser eLearning to talk education for appraisers. We talk in person classes, online, CE and general education.

We all know what it is for, but Dustin shares another use for (and a challenge with) airplane mode on your phone.

Friend of the program, Craig Morley joins Dustin to talk GSEs and modernization. What is happening in the world of valuation and what can we expect in the future?

We only know what we know, but it is time to learn what we don't know and begin to apply it.

It has been a crazy year for appraisers. Let's do a year in review by highlighting the most listened to episodes of this year (with a little surprise at the end for Mark Skapinetz).

The years of 2020 and 2021 did not take much skill to be able to run a successful business. What will it take to be successful in 2023 and beyond?

Our friend from OREP Insurance (orep.org), Isaac Peck joins us again to talk about appraiser liability. Specifically, many appraisers were sued after the market crashed in 2008. What lessons were learned, and what should we be doing to protect ourselves now?

When you do what everyone else is doing, you get what everyone else is getting. Appraisers are still focused on lender/AMC work. Is it time to start running the other direction?

Most markets are experiencing declining markets. What is an appraiser's responsibility in this significantly changing market? Greg Stephens joins Dustin to discuss.

For those appraisers who think their opportunities for success have diminished lately, please listen to this episode. The opportunities for success within the valuation world and outside it have only multiplied.

Sometimes asking the question, "What if?" can be the most powerful question you could ask.

Tim Ferriss gives the 10% Coffee Challenge to help people get out of their comfort zone. How can that change the success of your appraisal business?

Some states and some license levels require a college (or equivalent) education. Is that really necessary? How does Dustin feel about his own college experience?

Many of us have slowed down. There is really no excuse for not working on your business and it is the very thing that will keep you busy

Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, joins us to talk about the three approaches to value. Are we required to consider all three? What is the Departure Rule? Also, let's talk PAREA. How will that change our industry?

What do you do when the market slows down a bit? Well, you can spend time marketing (and you should), but you should also take some time to fix your systems.

Many appraisers are looking for non-lender work, but where do you go to get it? Dustin uses an analogy to help you target the right audiences.

Being self-employed, it can be easy to forget about your boundaries and end up spending way too much of your life at work. Dustin shares an analogy or two and why we should all protect our personal time.

Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, joins Dustin to talk about what he sees (and doesn't see) in appraiser's workfiles that may need improvement. How do you "beef up" your workfile? They also hit on the increase in Fannie Mae letters that are going out to appraisers and state boards.

We don't know what we don't know. Here are three, time saving tips in a la mode Total you may not already know about.

Appraisal volume as slowed, right? Not so fast. Dustin give three real-life examples of appraisers who are busier now than they were last year.

Our time and money is precious. What can we do to repurpose our time, repurpose our money, repurpose our data?

You should constantly be looking for other valuation products that you can offer, but should you look outside the appraisal industry for work during this slow down?

TM. What is it? How will it make you a better appraiser, better business owner, and better person?

Many of us have seen a slow down in volume. You were considering hiring someone before the slow down, but is that still a good idea?
