The Busy Appraiser Bryan Knowlton

It has been a while since my last podcast, so I just thought I would check in and share a little information on a new project I am working on with another appraiser down here in Southern California. We met over coffee a while back and really hit it off. I was completely blown away […]

In this episode I talk a little about how busy I have been doing appraisals. It really seems to be out of control right now in San Diego with the majority of work for refinance work.



I am also doing quite a bit of estate work that I get off of my appraiser website. I believe some tax laws have recently changed so I have been doing quite a bit of multi-property estate appraisals as well as some very high end properties.



I also mention the new product that I recently created about getting more work and more money from appraisal management companies.



The biggest tip I have here is that you should counter offer ALL appraisals that you do not feel you are getting enough to complete. I have found that I am making much more money and doing far less work on appraisals that might have paid less in the past.



Please give it a try, I am sure you will be happy with your results as long as you are working with a number of appraisal management companies.



You can get more information on the new product here - Maximizing AMC Orders and Income



Hope you enjoy the show!

I share my thoughts on the appraisal industry. Low paying appraisal management companies and the appraisers that do appraisals for extremely low fees.



I talk briefly on the consumer finance protection bureau.



Report low paying AMCs to NotCustomaryandReasonable dot com



Make sure to sign up to the appraisal marketing system if you haven't yet on my website AppraiserIncome dot com



And I talk about a great password management plug-in. It will save all of your usernames and passwords. You can also use it to fill online application for the appraisal management companies by populating all the fields for you. Get more information at freepasswordmanagement dot com

In this episode I talk about the current state of the appraisal industry, low fees and how the AGA Appraisers Guild of America is getting involved to get changes made through legislature.



I also expand on Google Places and why it is so important to get your company listed in Google Places and make sure your listing is 100% complete.

This is the last podcast I will be recording from my car to avoid any further distractions and to provide a much higher quality of audio for my listeners.



This episode I talk about my recent car accident, the power of having a top listed website, the top appraisal management companies that I use the most and the power of getting orders just by posting to CraigsList.org.



I am getting great feedback from appraisers on my appraiser podcast.



If you have any comments, please leave them here or on Itunes.



Thank you!

In this episode I continue to talk a little more about website keyword research and website optimization so you can get more local orders needed for date of death, estate, bankruptcy and divorce appraisal service.
