Today we have 10 year Mastermind Veteran, Brianne on the program to talk private appraisal work. She doubled her private volume in a year. Today, she talks about how she did it.

Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, joins Dustin again to take two questions in another Ask The USPAP Expert episode to tackle this question and another; can a final be passed off if it is not 100% finished?

In January of 2024, Dustin held the first ever VIP Mastermind in Paradise on the Island of Kauai. Here is a quick rundown of what went on and a little peek into next year.

When times are lean, what can we get can be all we can think of. But, maybe now - more than ever - we should be thinking about what we can give.

Many appraisers are upset with PAREA, but what if we took a page from the pathway to become an electrician and combined mentorship with PAREA? I think the idea has many benefits.

Dustin does not typically respond to negative comments, but he could not help himself this time. He wrote an article for the Buzz in October of 2023 called "Are Appraisers Actually Making More This Year" and as you can imagine, it was fraught with negative comments. Dustin responds, not directed at the negative, but for those who are interested in improving their lives.

The short answer is, Yes. Check out this minisode to find out why and what is next for The Appraiser Coach.

Appraisers are describing this as one of the worst economic times ever. Some are talking about leaving the industry. Dustin's response to this might surprise you.

The American Enterprise Institute (AEI), using data from FHFA, confirms that appraiser racial bias is not systemic. Dustin discusses why this is a positive for appraisers, but be careful of the details.
