USPAP and Questions to Tim was the only title I could invent for this podcast.  After all, there is not one theme here.  Rather this podcast consists of questions that have come in to me in the past from regulators, students, and boots-on-the-ground appraisers.  Every so often, I’ll work on answering them.  Most of the questions are polite, thoughtful, even respectful.  Some of them are…otherwise.  That’s OK.  I welcome them all.  After all, if I’ve made you mad enough to correspond with me, I’ve made you mad enough to think critically, which is the purpose of my professional existence (well, that and make a good living, thank you).

USPAP and Questions to Tim is a theme I’ve thought about for a long time.  I do a lot of teaching and some of these questions come up in classes, especially in USPAP classes.  In this podcast, I talk about education.  Remember education takes place not only in classrooms.  There are numerous real estate appraisal conferences each year.  The appraiser who wants to stay up-to-date, the appraiser who cares about servicing clients well, the appraiser who wants to stay in the business, attends at least one of these each year.  This is where the real education goes on since at these conferences you get to converse one-on-one with the movers and shakers of real estate appraisal.

Thanks for asking the questions!  And thanks for listening to the answers!
