You're in the Wrong Biz!

Real estate podcast and blog-Blaine Feyen-Grand Rapids-You're in the wrong biz!
The name of this episode says it all! You’re in the wrong business! Now, when you read the title, I know what some of you were thinking, some of you were thinking that I was going to go off on the appraisers who complain about the industry or the AMCs or the real estate agents, and I was going to say “hey, you’re in the wrong business! Move along!”, but no, that is not the actual meaning of the title of today’s episode. Although, as an aside and on that particular topic, I certainly would tell the forever complainers to move along. If they cant find any redeeming qualities about the appraisal business and the people they work with in it, by all means, you’re in the wrong business and life is too short to spend it doing something that just brings pain and suffering so, for your own health and well being, please go! Not only does it leave more for those of us who do love our work, it may be the very thing that saves your life and helps you find your passion.  ​

To Be Or Not To Be? That is the Question

Real estate appraiser podcast and blog-To be or not to be a realtor and appraiser at the same time
With all the new subscribers come lots of great questions and comments, which is definitely my favorite part of doing the podcast, right next to developing the content. I love having quality conversations with intelligent people and to see the questions and comments that come in each week from all of you is really inspiring. I had a question come up a couple weeks ago from a listener and we had a nice discussion back and forth via email. I had the question come up again a couple times over the last couple weeks so I figured I’d talk about it on the show. The original question came from Janelle, who said, ‘Hey Blaine, just wanted to say I love the podcast and the topics you’ve been talking about lately. I was wondering what your thoughts were on Appraisers also being realtors, or vice versa. I am an appraiser who is thinking about becoming a realtor as well and I’m not sure if I’d be doing myself more harm than good by doing so. Would love your thoughts on this topic since I know you said your used to be a realtor as well”.  ​

Right Business, Wrong Time

Real estate appraiser and appraisal podcast by blaine feyen
The question I’d like to address in this episode is from a gentleman names Derek, a recently minted new appraiser asking about long term views on the industry and whether or not I think he got into the right business at the wrong time. I really appreciate this question because it means he’s aware and in touch. I’m assuming he reads or is maybe on forums and facebook groups and has seen or heard something indicating an industry in peril, or at least one evolving, and he’s concerned he just got into an industry that may force him to make another career change in a few years.  ​
