Episode Episode 226 | USPAP Experts Unfiltered: When the Book Doesn’t Have the Answer Cover

Beschreibung

An appraiser asked me a simple question about a pot plant… then followed up and said the AMC wanted it blurred out. That kicked off a much bigger conversation. I sat down with three seasoned USPAP experts—Bobby Crisp, Diana Jacob, and Amelia Lovern—and what they shared goes far beyond anything you’ll find in a class. * Diana recounts a property where a man was chained to a basement wall. * Amelia shares a case involving bedroom doors locked from the outside. * Bobby walks through an inspection where a young child was present while the parent was passed out. These are real-world situations appraisers actually face—and the decisions that come with them. If you think USPAP has a rule for every situation… it doesn’t. And that’s exactly what these experts make clear. There are moments in this profession where the book doesn’t give you an answer—where safety, judgment, and common sense come first. Situations where you’re not thinking about compliance… you’re thinking about getting out and doing the right thing. This is the side of the profession no one talks about—but every appraiser needs to be prepared for. 🎙️ Watch the full conversation and see how experienced professionals handle the unexpected. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel to watch these episodes:  /appraiserelearning ✅ GET your APPRAISER CE here: appraiserelearning.com 🔥 STAY INFORMED with daily news and updates on The Appraisal Buzz: appraisalbuzz.com 📱 Follow us on socials: AeL's Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/appraiserelearning/ [https://www.facebook.com/appraiserelearning/] AeL's Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/appraiserelearning/ [https://www.instagram.com/appraiserelearning/] Reynolds' Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Reynolds-Associates-100063575604046/ [https://www.facebook.com/p/Reynolds-Associates-100063575604046/] Reynolds' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reynoldsandassociates/ [https://www.facebook.com/p/Reynolds-Associates-100063575604046/] The Appraisal Update Podcast is your go-to source for the latest news, trends, and insights in the appraisal industry.

Episode 231 | Don't Go It Alone: The Power of Community in the Appraisal Profession

Appraising can often feel like a solitary profession, but some of the greatest opportunities for growth come from being in community with other appraisers. In this episode, I sit down with Carole Henrysen, owner of Zen Appraisals, to discuss her journey into the appraisal profession, the creation of her successful appraisal business, and her expertise in unique properties.  Along the way, Carole shares stories from the field, lessons learned throughout her career, and the importance of being part of a strong appraiser community. From navigating complex properties to building lasting professional relationships, she explains how connecting with other appraisers has been so beneficial for herself and for her Zen Appraisal group over the years.  This is a fresh reminder that you don't have to go it alone. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel to watch these episodes:  /appraiserelearning ✅ GET your APPRAISER CE here: appraiserelearning.com 🔥 STAY INFORMED with daily news and updates on The Appraisal Buzz: appraisalbuzz.com 📱 Follow us on socials: AeL's Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/appraiserelearning/ [https://www.facebook.com/appraiserelearning/] AeL's Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/appraiserelearning/ [https://www.instagram.com/appraiserelearning/] Reynolds' Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Reynolds-Associates-100063575604046/ [https://www.facebook.com/p/Reynolds-Associates-100063575604046/] Reynolds' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reynoldsandassociates/ [https://www.facebook.com/p/Reynolds-Associates-100063575604046/] The Appraisal Update Podcast is your go-to source for the latest news, trends, and insights in the appraisal industry.

Episode 229 | Why go to ValExpo this year? It's not for the reason you think.

Okay, maybe it's partially for the reason you think: Obviously, we're all itching for a chance to speak face-to-face with the GSEs, software providers, and lenders to discuss the big UAD 3.6 shift that's happening this year. But there's more to it than that. Much more. Tune in as I sit down with the faces of Valuation Expo, Jim Morrison and Heidi Reuter, and they tell me what we can expect this August, why this year is so different from all the other ones, and they'll tell me a few of their favorite things about this annual conference.  You can register for Valuation Expo here: https://www.valuationexpo.com/#register [https://www.valuationexpo.com/#register] 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel to watch these episodes:  /appraiserelearning ✅ GET your APPRAISER CE here: appraiserelearning.com 🔥 STAY INFORMED with daily news and updates on The Appraisal Buzz: appraisalbuzz.com 📱 Follow us on socials: AeL's Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/appraiserelearning/ [https://www.facebook.com/appraiserelearning/] AeL's Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/appraiserelearning/ [https://www.instagram.com/appraiserelearning/] Reynolds' Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Reynolds-Associates-100063575604046/ [https://www.facebook.com/p/Reynolds-Associates-100063575604046/] Reynolds' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reynoldsandassociates/ [https://www.facebook.com/p/Reynolds-Associates-100063575604046/] The Appraisal Update Podcast is your go-to source for the latest news, trends, and insights in the appraisal industry.
