I had Susan Tarman on today and it was just a joyful conversation. I've known Susan professionally for 30 years, going into her galleries and getting appraisals from her. She's very, very smart and her story is all about what Santa Fe was like in the early 80s all the way through today.She talks about a guy named Vic Hansen who was this very interesting character that  I never had the chance to meet, but keep hearing stories about him even today. So she goes into detail about how instrumental that man was in her life and ultimately how she bought his gallery and made it her own.Fast forward to today and, though her gallery closed, Susan is still one of the best appraisers in the business. So if you want to get a great sense of what the Santa Fe art world was like in the 80s, who the players were, and what her role was and is in our field, than this is an excellent podcast to listen to.

Dan Bradley joins Amy and Lisa to talk about what appraisers wish real estate agents knew.

In this epsiode, Blaine talks through several thoughts and ideas around why so many appraisers choose to be silent and invisible where and when it matters the most, which is not whining and complaining on social media. 

Appraisers play an immensely important role in real estate transactions, but they can be a bit of an enigma, as they rarely communicate with the parties involved in a real estate transaction, despite having the power to potentially "blow up" a real estate transaction. As such, their roles and how they think about the market can be misunderstood by the general public and even by real estate professionals. Thankfully, Greenville-Spartanburg has many great appraisers, and Chris White is one of them. And in this episode, Chris gives us a rare inside look at how appraisers think about real estate, how they come up with their valuations, and what is happening in the Greenville-Spartanburg market. If you need to reach out to Chris White, feel free to reach him at: rps_chris@yahoo.com / ‭(864) 809-6546‬. His company website is: https://www.scappraisers.com As always, if you have any questions or comments (or, of course, need a realtor), feel free to reach out to Stan McCune directly by phone/text at (864) 735-7580 or by email at smccune@cdanjoyner.com.
