He stepped into appraisal during the 2008 crash—and stayed to lead.
In this episode of “Appraisers on Purpose,” Danyl Collings proves that you don’t have to be born into the appraisal world to thrive in it.
Starting in public relations and real estate sales, Danyl stepped into the industry during the 2008 financial collapse—managing a team before he was even certified. Instead of faking his way through, he leaned in, studied hard, and earned the credibility he felt his team deserved.
For Danyl, it wasn’t about having the right resume—it was about having the right mindset. He built his success through communication, humility, and a deep belief in mentorship.
Now, as the leader of his own firm, he’s solving one of the industry’s biggest challenges: the trainee pipeline. His method? Structured learning, clear expectations, and a refusal to gatekeep.
Danyl’s story is a refreshing reminder that appraisal is a profession where second acts and fresh starts are not only possible—they’re powerful.
Tune in to hear how curiosity, courage, and character shaped his journey—and how they can shape yours, too.
