When’s the last time someone reviewed yourwork?
In this episode of “Appraisers on Purpose,” longtime reviewer and appraiser Susan Alley challenges the traditional path into the profession and offers a surprising alternative.
Having reviewed thousands of reports from appraisers across the country, Susan believes that most appraisers are flying solo and that’s exactly the problem. Isolation breeds blind spots. And feedback, she argues, is the fastest path to excellence.
Rather than entering the field through a single supervisor’s lens, Susan suggests trainees should begin by reviewing a range of reports. It’s a radical idea but one rooted in her deep experience and a genuine desire to elevate the profession.
But Susan’s story is more than theory. From burnout to rebuilding, from staff appraiser to founder of her own national review firm, she proves that reinvention is always possible. She shares how connection, generosity, and community have been key to both personal growth and professional resilience.
Tune in to hear Susan’s refreshingly hopeful take on how the appraisal industry can evolve together.
