Episode 058 - Are All Appraisers the Same?
Appraisers tend to get lumped into the same category of other professions that are considered “bad”. Is that fair? Brian has a take that might help change your mind. Not all appraisers are the same but for reasons that some might not consider.
This episode gets into how and why appraisers are different, both good and bad. From license type to training, education, and property type all set appraisers apart from each other.
Understanding why appraisers are different can help you when encounter a difference of opinion or when you hire an appraiser for a specific job. Enjoy the episode!
