"I love the appraisal business. It's a great mix of working inside at the computer and being outside doing field work. I find it can be very satisfying as it is both an art and a science. I also enjoy meeting and working with my customers, whether they are lenders, lawyers, homeowners, or Realtors. I think it is exciting to see the changes in our industry, as I believe they will ultimately result in more professional appraisers who have set for themselves standards that are higher than ever before. I believe the current economic situation presents opportunities for those in the real estate business who are willing to be flexible, creative, and open-minded. I believe appraisers now, perhaps more than ever, have an opportunity to effect change in their indusrty for the good."
