This week, Voice of Appraisal's President, Phil Crawford joins the Housing News Podcast for episode eight to discuss how COVID-19 has transformed the appraisal process for the nation's homebuyers.

In this episode, the host of the Voice of Appraisal Radio podcast also touches on whether or not the business is an essential service. Crawford also shares his perspective on why appraisers need a bigger voice in policymaking and touches on the potential impact of some recent announcements from federal banking regulators that allow appraisal postponements up to 120 days after a mortgage.
