What Does Appraisal’s Future Hold? – TAA Podcast 156

August 04, 2025

What does appraisal’s future hold?  This is a question that comes in all the time.  Since it comes in all the time, and time is dynamic, so is the answer to the question.  Simply, we cannot have the assurance of a yes or no answer.  There are too many variables to account for.  There are too many changes we cannot see around corners we cannot imagine.  Yet, somewhere, somehow, there are among us those for whom the variables settle their flutter and corners become less opaque.  Appraisal’s friend, Craig Morley is one of those savants for whom the future is slightly less cloudy than for we mere mortals.

What does appraisal’s future hold for appraisers?  That (among others) is the question we put to Craig in this podcast.  Craig, with his usual gentle wisdom and clear eye, addressed some of these issues.  His answers will surprise some, disquiet some, enrage some, frighten some, and enlighten the rest of us.  There is no reason to chronical those answers here.  Please listen to the podcast.

And remember, you need full E&O coverage from a reputable broker, as well as a great administrative law attorney in your corner, if “that letter” ever arrives from the state appraisal board.
