Have you lost your enthusiasm for our valuation industry? Do you feel disconnected and uninspired?  Welcome to another insightful episode of Indispensable Appraisers!  My conversation with Dr. Randy Flowers - RSDS Appraisal Diversity. Dr. Flower's insights: • RSDS was created to help try to solve the 30-plus year problem in the appraisal profession, which is a barrier to entry. • The current system right now lacks youth diversity inclusion of military service members. • We will have a labor shortage when the market turns around. • Right now the market's down 70%, but it won't take much of a snapback to feel that labor shortage. • In the last 3 years over 7,000 licenses are no longer with us, and that's a pretty steep decline. • This system has also created poor service levels, long wait times and issues for people trying to get appraisals. • As technologies come in, bifurcated products have come in, but the RSDS solution is to aggressively hire and train the next generation of professional appraisers. • Just broke the 200th appraiser in the company. We've graduated almost 45 trainees in the last year. • A lot of money going into lack of diversity - Chase $5.0M, Wells Fargo $6.M. • We've got to continue reestablishing trust in the financial sector. • New appraisers are shocked at how much technology still needs to be developed in the profession and access to the data.

Have you lost your enthusiasm for our valuation industry? Do you feel disconnected and uninspired?  Welcome to another insightful episode of Indispensable Appraisers!  My conversation with George Koiso, MAI - Worth Valuations. Some take-aways: Appraising - best place to learn. Peer groups - the value that good appraisers hold. Non-lender work - not feeling the downturn. Demand is there for those who can solve client problems. Biggest Challenge: fee compression. Experience attracting and retaining talent. Provide the next generation the same benefits. Grateful about the appraisal profession. Find ways to pay young appraisers more. Valuation very rewarding, a good career. Challenge: if over-qualified to start appraising, they would be overlooked. Potential future shortage of appraisers. Appraising is one of the most highly training-intensive professions. We need to solve the economics of appraisal. Appraisal Institute – from the top can help with marketing and branding. LinkedIn – stay in front of clients. Let’s start this conversation.

Have you lost your enthusiasm for our valuation industry? Do you feel disconnected and uninspired?  Welcome to another insightful episode of Indispensable Appraisers!  My conversation with Charles V. Beyer, II, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS - Swift Real Estate.Charles Beyer's insights: The application of appraising over a lifetime is huge. There's a tremendous need for experienced, well-educated appraisers. Appraisers as being in the future are the tour guides through this maze of voluminous information. There's an opportunity but you have to pay your dues. I'm still working, not because I have to, but because I want to. The career itself is tremendously fulfilling on so many different levels. The onus is not so much on us, it's on them (the next generation). He was a chief appraiser for a bank, worked for a national firm, and had his own business and partnerships. It's all over the place. I've invested in real estate, just a tremendous opportunity career. Analogous story about BP's oil spill came back to BP not their subcontracted security and safety firms. Smaller banks are so hungry to know how to run an appraisal department. FIVA is a great way to have commonality since we're all facing the same type of issues. We can address those issues together and learn from one another. Let’s start this conversation. Just call my cell 813-230-3798 or e-mail me Jeff@realwired.com.
