About The Elevate Appraiser Retreat

The first-ever appraisal business owner retreat took place in a breathtaking mountaintop setting just outside Yosemite National Park in California. This wasn’t another appraiser conference filled with CE credits, AMCs, GSEs, vendors, and dull education. It was a unique three-day experience where 15 ambitious business owners came together in seclusion.

Coach Dustin and Coach Blaine joined forces to deliver an event that transformed both lives and businesses. There had never been anything like it for real estate appraisers. Attendees tore up the old playbook and left with a renewed vision, empowered mindset, and fresh strategies to turbocharge their appraisal businesses and personal lives.

The retreat combined intense business and personal growth planning with time for yoga, hiking, gourmet dining, and a special VIP tour of Yosemite National Park.
