- Our profession is aging rapidly, with very little new blood coming into appraising. We always consider taking on a trainee(with license) so we can pay our profession forward, by sharing the wealth of residential, commercial and technology aspects we have learned.
- Any candidate we would consider must not be taking appraising on as a hobby or a career after retirement for just side money. Also the individual must be extremely familiar or local to the Chicago and South Suburban market areas, must be tech savvy as well as understand the attention to detail and basic hustle it takes to be a success in this business.
- Any trainee or potential in the country needs to listen to these Podcasts from our friend Blaine at The Real Value Podcast, as well as our other Coach, The Appraiser Coach Dustin Harris. The last one addresses the current 2024 climate and is some great info for Trainees or even Seasoned Appraisers.
