    Appraising for Veterans

    Can military service prepare you for a successful career in real estate appraisal? Hosts Tonia Vailas, MAI, AI-GRS, and Warren Boizot, SRA, AI-RRS explore why veterans may be uniquely suited for a second career in appraisal—and why the profession should be paying attention. Joined by Anthony Marmorale, SRA, AI-RRS, Chair of the Appraisal Institute’s National Strategic Planning Committee, and Anthony Legotti, MAI, a decorated U.S. Air Force Reserve veteran and owner of a national appraisal firm, the conversation dives into the skills veterans bring to the table: discipline, attention to detail, integrity, and a systematic approach to problem-solving. The episode also highlights the real-world benefits of appraisal as a post-service career, including flexible schedules, remote work opportunities, and the potential for supplemental income. Plus, the group discusses innovative pathways—like the Department of Defense’s SkillBridge program—that could help service members transition into appraisal before leaving the military. Whether you’re a veteran exploring your next chapter or an appraiser interested in strengthening the profession’s future, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and actionable ideas. 🎧 Listen now and be part of the conversation.

    Off Grid Appraisals

    In this episode of Face Value, hosts Tonia Vailas, MAI, AI-GRS, and Warren Boizot, SRA, AI-RRS, explore the unique challenges of valuing off-grid and rural properties with guest Bo Fox, SRA, an experienced appraiser from Warren, Pennsylvania. From Amish-built homes completed in just two weeks to properties powered solely by solar panels and wood stoves, the conversation delves into markets where traditional valuation methods don’t always fit. The trio discusses how appraisers can navigate limited comparables, functional utility questions, and market competency when standard approaches fall short. Fox shares real-world insights into unconventional housing markets — where unfinished interiors may be the norm and private, community-based financing replaces conventional loans. The episode unpacks how appraisers can think beyond the textbook, adapt their methods, and accurately assess properties that operate entirely outside the grid. Whether you’re an appraiser tackling your first off-grid assignment or a seasoned professional curious about niche markets, this episode offers practical takeaways and thought-provoking perspectives on what it really means to define “value” in unconventional real estate.

    AI on AI: Turning Curiosity into Capability

    The latest episode of Face Value, hosted by Tonia Vailas, MAI, AI-GRS, and Warren Boizot, SRA, AI-RRS, dives into the fast-evolving world of artificial intelligence and what it means for appraisers. Joined by AI experts Mark Linne, MAI, SRA, and Maureen Mahoney, the Appraisal Institute’s Director of Education, the hosts explore how AI is transforming appraisal practice — from acting as a tireless research assistant to reshaping data analysis and decision-making. But it’s not all smooth terrain. As Mahoney puts it, “We’re in the wild west of artificial intelligence.” The episode tackles the biggest questions appraisers are asking: Is AI a threat or an opportunity? How can appraisers use it safely and ethically? What does the future look like for the profession? The episode also introduces “AI on AI”, a six-month interactive learning program launching October 21. This first-of-its-kind initiative provides a safe, hands-on environment for appraisers to explore, test, and integrate AI tools — while staying grounded in ethics and professionalism.
