Episode 29 | The Blitz Break 🎙️

This week on The Blitz Break, hosts Phil Rasmussen, Buzz Howard, and Julie Shroyer welcome Ryan Lundquist of the Lundquist Appraisal Company and the Sacramento Appraisal Blog for a thoughtful, grounded conversation that blends market insight, technology, and the human side of housing.

Ryan brings his appraiser’s perspective to a wide-ranging discussion on how AI can be a powerful tool when paired with genuine humanity, why boots-on-the-ground expertise still matters, and what the current market is really telling us beneath the headlines.

In this episode, we cover:

🤖 How AI can support (not replace) human judgment in real estate

🏠 Appraisal techniques and what appraisers are actually looking at in today’s market

📊 A clear-eyed look at current housing conditions and buyer behavior

❤️ Homeownership stories that have stuck with us and why they matter

🐾 Plus: some lighter moments, including pet stories and who on the show is (and maybe isn’t) an animal person

Whether you’re in real estate, mortgage, appraisal, or just love honest conversations about housing and people, this episode offers insight, perspective, and a few laughs along the way.
