We often take the little things for granted.  If you are striving for better efficiencies, planning ahead for bad weather is an important part of the process.  What do you do when it is raining outside?  

Joe and I are longtime friends.  Joe will tell you his story and why he loves technology, maybe even more than Dustin.  

Many appraisers want to expand, but they do not have the physical space to do so.  Can you really hire, train, and manage appraisal help virtually?  

Ann joins us again discussing her article in the recent Appraisal Today on Big Data.  We all know that Big Data is here to stay, but Ann tells us why appraiser data is the best kind of data.  

We have opened a second Appraiser Mastermind in Chicago!  It is almost full (as is our Salt Lake Team), but there is another possible option right now in either Los Angeles or Las Vegas.  Listen in to find out what the Dream Team is and why you might want to consider securing your seat.  

Josh is back and he addresses how regression tools can help, but makes it clear they are not the end all/be all of adjustment support.  Listen in as he describes how regression can be a great tool and it does not have to take a lot of time.  Two links for items discussed in the podcast.

Appraisal Fees Do Not Tell the Whole Story

Bill was particularly outspoken.  I think he had some thought-provoking ideas, but I am not sure the whole story was explored.  Here is my attempt to address some of the issues. 

They say there is a shortage of appraisers in Denver, but we sure have interviewed a lot of appraisers from there lately.  Jeff spends a lot of time doing VA stuff and you will love his scary story.  

Last week, Dustin shared his experience with joining a local gym.  This week, he reveals the gym he joined (hint, it is alluded to in the title) and why you might want to consider it as well.  It seems like the perfect gym for appraisers.  

We use the term all the time, but do we stop to think about what it means?  A sale is not a comp.  How often do agents and clients use the term? Perhaps we need to be more careful as to how we use it.
