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.
