Words matter. When we talk about "the appraiser came in low," what do we actually mean. In this episode, Dustin talks about the verbiage we use and how to cator it to get real results.

Tim Andersen, USPAP Instructor and The Appraiser's Advocate joins Dustin to talk about common errors Tim finds in appraisal reports that, if addressed up front, might help us avoid problems with the state.

As much as Dustin loves appraising today, it is interesting that that is the one job he vowed he would never do.

When do assignment conditions from your client become a problem with regard to USPAP and your state board? Can you change an appraisal after the effective and signing date? These are the questions Mr. Tim Andersen (The Appraiser's Advocate) helps answer today.

There are two questions we should all be asking ourselves. What are they? How will they help us moving forward?

In order to be more efficient, we often use and reuse language. That is not a bad thing, but there are some things we need to watch out for. Diana Jacob joins us once again to show us the pros and cons of boilerplating.

What are the best shoes for appraisers? Sorry ladies, Dustin only has experience with male shoes.

Every appraiser has their unique gifts. Mike (MJ) Carroll joins Dustin today to tell his story and you will not believe who he has met on some of his inspections.

Many of the questions we get from home owners, agents, and other appraisers boils down to "well, it depends." Dustin talks today about how to best handle questions that don't have definitive answers.

Dana Schau joins Dustin for another Appraiser Stories. She is a transplant from Michigan and N. Dakota has its own set of challenges. Did she really need to be rescued by a helicopter?
