Charge What You’re Worth (And Stop Letting AMCs Decide It)

In this episode of Brews & Appraisal Views, Dan sits down with returning guest Brad Bassi to tackle a topic that hits every appraiser’s wallet: fees. Brad makes a strong case that too many appraisers are undercharging and relying on AMC-driven pricing instead of valuing their own time, expertise, and liability. The conversation goes beyond pricing into what actually wins clients, like taking time to research properties before quoting, building trust through real conversations, and providing clear written proposals. They also dig into handling complex assignments like estate and family law work, where communication and process matter just as much as valuation. The episode wraps with a candid discussion about industry changes, including Fannie Mae’s Collateral Underwriter expansion to AMCs, and what it could mean for appraiser independence and the future of the profession.

Inside the AMC Lawsuit: With Trial Attorney Alec Schultz

In this episode of Brews & Appraisal Views, Dan sits down with Miami trial attorney Alec Schultz, partner at Hilgers PLLC, to unpack a class action lawsuit targeting several AMCs and United Wholesale Mortgage. The conversation dives into allegations that appraisal management companies are collecting large portions of consumer appraisal fees while paying appraisers a fraction, often without clear disclosure to borrowers. Alec explains how the lawsuit argues violations of state consumer protection laws, negligent misrepresentation, and broader compliance issues tied to post-Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regulations. Dan brings the boots-on-the-ground perspective, sharing how fee compression affects quality, appraiser selection, and ultimately the consumer. It is a candid discussion about transparency, accountability, and whether this case could reshape the AMC model nationwide.

AI & Cybersecurity in the Appraisal Office

In this episode of Brews & Appraisal Views, Dan sits down with cybersecurity expert Matt Kinsey to tackle the big question appraisers are quietly wrestling with: how do you use AI without getting burned? They break down the real risks of tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, including data accuracy, bias, hallucinations, courtroom defensibility, and client confidentiality. Matt explains why AI should be treated like an intern, not a licensed appraiser, and walks through practical safeguards for solo shops and small firms, from encrypted email and phishing protection to written security plans and cyber insurance. If you’re using AI in your business, or thinking about it, this episode will help you do it smarter and stay out of trouble.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
