The Appraisal Institute, the leading association of real estate appraisers, releases the sixth 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 the NAR Settlement; what happened, why, and what’s next for homebuyers and sellers. Boizot and Vailas are joined in this episode by guests: Darwin Ernst, SRA, AI-RRS, a certified Residential Appraiser and current Vice Chair of Region 1 for the Appraisal Institute, and Heather Mull, a MAI/SRA designated appraiser and the owner of Placer Realty Advisors, a full service commercial appraisal and consulting firm.

With both commercial and residential professionals represented, the discussion digs deep on the types of new broker agreements, ranges in compensation, and effects of the settlement on sale price and appraisal.

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.
