Have you lost your enthusiasm for our valuation industry? Do you feel disconnected and uninspired?  Welcome to another insightful episode of Indispensable Appraisers!  My conversation with Charles V. Beyer, II, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS - Swift Real Estate.Charles Beyer's insights: The application of appraising over a lifetime is huge. There's a tremendous need for experienced, well-educated appraisers. Appraisers as being in the future are the tour guides through this maze of voluminous information. There's an opportunity but you have to pay your dues. I'm still working, not because I have to, but because I want to. The career itself is tremendously fulfilling on so many different levels. The onus is not so much on us, it's on them (the next generation). He was a chief appraiser for a bank, worked for a national firm, and had his own business and partnerships. It's all over the place. I've invested in real estate, just a tremendous opportunity career. Analogous story about BP's oil spill came back to BP not their subcontracted security and safety firms. Smaller banks are so hungry to know how to run an appraisal department. FIVA is a great way to have commonality since we're all facing the same type of issues.

Have you lost your enthusiasm for our valuation industry? Do you feel disconnected and uninspired?  Welcome to another insightful episode of Indispensable Appraisers!  My conversation with Dr. Randy Flowers - RSDS Appraisal Diversity. Dr. Flower's insights: • RSDS was created to help try to solve the 30-plus year problem in the appraisal profession, which is a barrier to entry. • The current system right now lacks youth diversity inclusion of military service members. • We will have a labor shortage when the market turns around. • Right now the market's down 70%, but it won't take much of a snapback to feel that labor shortage. • In the last 3 years over 7,000 licenses are no longer with us, and that's a pretty steep decline. • This system has also created poor service levels, long wait times and issues for people trying to get appraisals. • As technologies come in, bifurcated products have come in, but the RSDS solution is to aggressively hire and train the next generation of professional appraisers. • Just broke the 200th appraiser in the company. We've graduated almost 45 trainees in the last year. • A lot of money going into lack of diversity - Chase $5.0M, Wells Fargo $6.M. • We've got to continue reestablishing trust in the financial sector. • New appraisers are shocked at how much technology still needs to be developed in the profession and access to the data.

My conversation with Mitchell Simonson, MAI - Simonson Appraisal. Mitchell's insights: Appraisers provide incredible value in solving complex valuation problems. We help property owners understand valuation impacts. There's an opportunity to provide a higher level of service that owners need. We help negotiate fairly on the government side and provide the desired outcomes. The greatest challenge is being aware of the industry. Not all appraisals provide that same high level of value, that's a challenge. The appraisal profession has provided a few different alternative valuation options. You have to learn to embrace, pivot and find other valuation opportunities. There seems to be a stigma from other real estate professionals, throwing appraisers under the bus. We're striving to provide the highest level of value. We can't control that perception but we as appraisers can provide massive value in many different aspects. Reinvigorated to improve and thrive in this appraisal industry. Appraisers can build a lifestyle. A family trip story about how Mitch learned to be more intentional and build a life with vision. He weaves everything that he loves. The appraisal profession continues to provide an excellent lifestyle.
