Bruce Jones | How Bad Appraisals Inspired a Career in Doing It Right
Description
When a bad appraisal cost him big, Bruce Jones didn’t get mad, he got in the game.
In this episode of “Appraisers on Purpose,” Bruce Jones shares how a single flawed appraisal sparked a career change, and a mission.
After years as a successful broker, Bruce hit a wall: a refinance on a multifamily property was nearly derailed by a wildly inaccurate appraisal. But instead of walking away, he asked a bold question: What if I could do this better?
That question became a calling.
Bruce pivoted mid-career, partnered with an MAI, and committed fully to becoming a designated appraiser. Along the way, he discovered what many in the industry miss: that mastery isn’t about shortcuts, it’s about purpose, persistence, and doing the work others won’t.
From early mornings to earning the MAI the hard way, Bruce’s story is a reminder that growth is always possible, no matter where you start.
🎧 Tune in to hear how Bruce turned a frustrating experience into a career of impact, leadership, and hope for the future of our profession.
