Facing Hard Conversations With Confidence trainees-employees-mentors-appraising Nov 28, 2023

We all have to work with other people. Whether it’s customers, real estate folks, employees, homeowners, you name it.

As human beings, we often think of the cost of things. It is my opinion that we think about the cost too much. It keeps us from achieving something truly great.

Scheduling Rush Orders marketing-advertising-fees-clients-appraisals Nov 14, 2023

A problem that I’ve run into several times during my coaching, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, is rush orders. Appraisers don’t know what to do. They’re scheduled out 4, 5, 8 weeks, and then they get a call from someone they’ve done business for for years with a rush order that needs to be d...
