I proudly present the medallion above, but to be honest, I was only really
recognized for having one of the 10 best appraisal blogs on the Internet. Feedstock collects them in one place, and some
of their highest rated blogs I also recognize and should commend.
The vast majority of appraisal blogs I see are oriented to
residential appraisers in the USA, and I generally ignore them for just
reporting old news or whining about how life is unfair for residential
appraisers who haven’t evolved beyond the URAR form or learned how to “support
their adjustments”.
Here are the top 3 blogs I respect and honor:
Appraisal Today by Ann O’Rourke. It presents a lot of useful information, and some of
it is even oriented towards commercial appraisers like me. She is a highly seasoned appraiser and MAI.
WorkingRE, created by David Brauner, was the inspiration for my own blog, which I started 15 years ago. Even though WorkingRE is exclusively oriented towards residential appraisers, he advised me that creating a good blog would be good for increasing one’s own appraisal business. In these last 15 years and 176 posts I have now gained worked on 6 continents. I also found my Errors and Omissions Insurance through them. I don't know what happened to David Brauner, but the new publisher is Isaac Peck who has seamlessly continued the good work of this blog.
Miller Samuel is oriented towards the New York City Metropolitan Area but provides comprehensive residential statistics for those needing such information. I see them quoted in the press more often than any other appraisal blog. I've never met Jonathan Miller, but he sure knows how to blog.
