An adjuster working on a complex property damage claim closes the file, having paid out on the claim. Then they receive a notice that the insured is demanding appraisal. They call up the insured, only to find out that the insured has no idea what's going on. About Our Guest Steven J. Badger, Partner, Zelle LLP sbadger@zellelaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-badger-467b0322/ Notable Timestamps [ 00:20 ] - The insured signed a form on a tabet, presented to them by the contractor, without realizing it authorized a later appraisal demand. [ 01:13 ] - Steve shares an anecdote about his appraisal training sessions & debates. [ 02:39 ] - Steve's review of the trends shows that contractor-driven appraisal demands are more common now than they used to be. [ 03:50 ] - Assignment of Benefits would raise other issues and would not be permitted in all states. [ 05:15 ] - The adjuster can begin addressing an appraisal demand by contacting the insured to ask if they are aware of the demand, if the work is complete in their opinion, and the amount they paid. [ 07:22 ] - In the states where Steve practices, the contractor performing the work (and the public adjuster on the claim) cannot also act as the appraiser. [ 08:45 ] - Steve leverages his presence on LinkedIn to call out illegal behavior. [ 10:11 ] - Zelle LLP has drafted an alternative appraisal clause addressing abuses in the appraisal process. Removing the appraisal clause entirely would simply increase litigation. [ 12:37 ] - The goal of appraisal is prompt amicable resolution of disputed claims.

The property appraisal process should be straightforward, but what happens when agents show up with inflated numbers just to win your business? This eye-opening conversation delves into the sometimes murky world of property valuations and how unsuspecting homeowners can protect themselves from costly misinformation.We share shocking real-world examples of appraisal disasters, including a commercial property owner whose retirement plans were shattered when he discovered his property was worth $1.2 million less than an automated bank valuation had led him to believe. Another sobering case involves consistent over-valuations that left an owner with unrealistic expectations and financial disappointment.The conversation offers practical wisdom for property owners: develop relationships with multiple agents before you need to sell, request substantiated valuations backed by comparable sales data, and understand that the agent offering the highest price estimate at the lowest commission often delivers the poorest results. We explore why signing lengthy agency agreements can backfire, leaving you stuck with an underperforming agent for months.Beyond the technical aspects, we emphasize the human element of property transactions. Like choosing a teacher for your child, selecting the right agent creates dramatically different experiences even when following the same process. The most valuable aspect of a property appraisal might not be the price estimate itself, but your assessment of whether this is someone you can trust with one of life's most significant financial transactions.Ready to navigate the property valuation process with confidence? Listen now to arm yourself with insider knowledge that could save you thousands of dollars and months of stress in your next property transaction. What's your property really worth, and how can you be sure you're getting the truth?

Elizabeth thought she was 12–18 months away from buying her first home. Just four months later, she and her partner Joseph were moving into a sun-filled home they love—for less than list price and with instant equity. This interview breaks down how it happened. After discovering the podcast on Spotify, Elizabeth reached out expecting to take it slow. But with the help of a unicorn lender, she uncovered investment assets she didn't know she could use, built a plan, and closed fast—without rushing.She shares how she and Joseph trusted their gut, prioritized layout and light over square footage, and used a job offer letter to qualify for their mortgage. Most importantly, she shows what's possible when buyers have the right team, real information, and support that puts their goals first.Quote:“This is our own place. We don't have to worry about other people… If there's problems, we're in control and we can deal with it ourselves.” — Elizabeth, Episode 327Highlights: 1. From savings to ownership in 4 months—how a plan made it happen fast. 2. They started with $3,100—and ended up putting 20% down by tapping into investment accounts. 3. Job offer letters work—how Joseph's future income helped them qualify. 4. The lender made all the difference—six meetings, full education, no pressure. 5. Bank vs. Unicorn Lender—why they ditched the lower rate for real service. 6. Appraisal surprise—they paid under list and the home appraised higher. 7. Light over size—why layout and natural light won over square footage.Referenced Episodes: • Episode 301 – Start of the 10-Step First-Time Homebuyer Starter SeriesConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

Why and how do we store certain memories and not others? What lifestyle elements influence memory for better or worse? Can traumatic memories be reframed and lead to reduction in symptoms?In this episode we get into the most recent research into memory. So, how we store memory; the different types; the way we actively construct it rather than simply receiving it; it's importance to our sense of self and framing of the world; to our attention and motivation; to our openness and updating our beliefs; and to Deja Vu. We talk about the influence of screen time and multi-tasking on memory; some unexpected life style factors that influence the quality of memory function and how they can feed into memory disorders; and we discuss traumatic memories and how we can reframe them, and the psychedelic research on that too.Fortunately, our guest is one of the world's most fun and knowledgeable authorities on memory, psychologist, neuroscientist, and head of the dynamic memory lab at The University of California Davis, Dr. Charan Ranganath. He's the author of over 120 scientific papers on memory and has recently released a fascinating book for the general public on all this, “Why We Remember”. Charan is also a rock guitarist with several bands so a man of many talents. What we discuss:00:00 intro. 07:20 The remembering self vs experiencing self. 09:30 We forget a lot, we're supposed to.11:00 Autobiographic memory.13:30 Episodic memory.14:20 Emotional intensity brings attention, which is linked to motivation.18:20 Association, cue and prompts, and the hippocampus.20:30 Memory athletes and training memory.21:51 Storifcation, mental schemas and ‘scaffolding' new memories with old blueprints.24:40 Preconceptions, bias and prejudice is baked into new memories.27:00 Imagining the past (re-membering) and imagining the future are very similar in the brain.29:15 The brain is not linear, rather a global network of dynamic interaction between brain regions simultaneously.31:29 Prediction error, goals, and memory enhancement.37:00 Dopamine drives our attention, interest and curiosity, multiplying remembering.43:20 Mental flexibility, youthful neuroplasticity, and openness to new experience.46::00 The ‘Stage of Life' theory of memory.49:00 The young brain needs to struggle to get the information they're curious about.50:15 Deja Vu research and familiarity.54:20 The environmental and social components of memory. 58:15 The act of remembering can change that memory.01:00:00 Collective memory - shared memories support sense of self.01:01:20 Life style factors: good for the body = good for the brain, so good for memory.01:02:00 The importance of vascular health and inflammation.01:06:30 Depression inversely correlates with memory.01:08:45 Screen time, focus and memory.01:10:20 Multi taking is actually switching, and leads to fragmented memories.01:12:30 Traumatic memories and reframing them.01:19:20 Psychedelic reframing of memories. 01:20:20 Extinction learning - learning to suppress memory prompts and re-write them.References:Charan Ranganth, “Why We Remember” Daniel Kahneman, “Thinking Fast and Slow”Hermann Ebbinghaus, “Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology” 1885Endel Tulving, ‘Mental time travel'Frederic Bartlett, 1930 ‘Imagining the past and constructing the future'Mathias Gruber and Charan Ranganath, “How Curiosity Enhances Hippocampus-Dependent Memory: The Prediction, Appraisal, Curiosity, and Exploration (PACE) Framework” PaperAnne Cleary, Deja Vu experiments article
