Bridging the Gap: How Appraisers, Agents, and Policy Shape the Future of Valuation

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2297649/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Beyond the Numbers, Kevin Hecht sits down with Keisha Wilkinson, Senior Policy Representative for Valuation at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), to unpack one of the most important—and often misunderstood—relationships in real estate: appraisers and agents. With over a decade of experience at Fannie Mae and now working on the front lines of policy and advocacy, Keisha shares how valuation policy is shaped, how legislation impacts appraisers, and why communication between professionals is more critical than ever. From breaking down common misconceptions (yes, agents can talk to appraisers) to exploring major legislative efforts like the Appraisal Industry Improvement Act and Appraisal Modernization Act, this conversation dives into the real forces driving change in the industry.

What's Next for Appraisers? Malinda Griffin Explains!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2297649/fan_mail/new]  In this episode of Beyond the Numbers with McKissock Appraisal, Kevin Hecht sits down with veteran appraiser and National Association of Appraisers President Malinda Griffin for a wide-ranging conversation about the evolution of the appraisal profession. Drawing on more than three decades of experience, Malinda shares how she entered the industry, how the profession has changed over time, and why building a strong professional network is essential for long-term success.  The discussion explores major industry shifts—from the rise of AMCs and new technology to the upcoming UAD/URAR 3.6 changes—while emphasizing why human judgment will always remain at the heart of valuation. Malinda also highlights opportunities beyond traditional lending work, including probate, divorce, and tax appeal assignments, and offers practical advice for appraisers looking to grow their careers while staying adaptable in a changing profession.
