The Appraisal Institute, the leading association of real estate appraisers, releases the fifth episode in season three of its popular “Face Value” podcast, hosted by Tonia Vailas, MAI, AI-GRS and Warren Boizot, SRA, AI-RRS. The episode focuses on trends in landscape architecture and debates whether landscaping adds value to a property, if at all. Boizot and Vailas are joined in this episode by guests Howard Morris, SRA, a certified Real Estate Appraiser and Licensed Real Estate Agent in New York, and Kevin Winkelmann, an award-winning landscape architect. Kevin discusses some of the projects he works on, and some of the trends he's seen post-COVID, trends that Morris also sees in his work as an appraiser. These include pools, pergolas, outdoor barbecues and the recent addition of pickle-ball courts. Viewers of the Youtube episode will be able to take a peek at some of the projects Winkelmann designed through his company, Design By Sundown. Throughout the episode, Boizot raises the question of value. Both he and Morris agree that while it may not add much value, they recognize the appeal of outdoor spaces for homeowners. Morris introduces the analogy of a birthday cake. It can be decorated nicely on the outside, but it's the taste inside that matters most. Appraiser-centric -- in line with all the Appraisal Institute's communications -- the new Face Value podcast is targeting audiences across the wider real estate industry. Member input and podcast ideas are welcome and encouraged, please send them to facevalue@appraisalinstitute.org.

One of the biggest challenges to becoming an appraiser is finding a supervisor/mentor.

Jones & Associates, LLC in 1986. David is a state certified real estate appraiser in Texas.  In 2020 David bought what is now the Camp David Retreat. One of David's passions is the ability to see a property's current use and envision how it could become something different.  This property was being used for a residence and a dog boarding facility, and when it came on the market David saw a new way to utilize the beautiful 10 acres as a retreat setting. Inspired by his now-grown children who seemed to always be "bored" with family vacations, he wanted a way to revive old memories and create new ones.

How do you support your appraisal adjustments ... or DO you? In order to make market based adjustments, don't you have to analyze the actions of market participants? Please say yes.

And those decisions aren't always rational.  Join Bryan and his guest Brent Bowen as they discuss Brent's fascinating new course that takes human psychology into account.

BREAKING NEWS: Last week we published a special edition about the Rapattoni cyberattack that shut down some MLS systems in 12 states. Yesterday Freddie Mac weighed in—in an email to their subscribers explaining what the outage means for appraisers and lenders and suggesting some temporary workarounds (such as RPR).Listen in as Bryan and Scott Reuter reiterate that appraisers should only complete assignments when we're "confident the results are credible."
