Private Appraisals and Websites

[Surf Cat]

My Business card that I gave to anybody and everybody helped a lot in securing non-lender work aka Pvt work. Cards are cheap. I gave then out to anybody who would take it.
I left a business card at every house I appraised. well almost every house. Realtors give their cards out to everybody they meet.

I used to do this in the mortgage broker days. I'd show up to the Thursday new listing showings, quickly peruse the house taking a look around.

There was a tray where everyone put their cards in. I'd always put my card outside of the tray on the table as I was typically the Lone Wolf appraiser at the showing. Sometimes I'd hobnob with the Realtors who would rib me about killing their deals and I make fun of the photos on their cards stating that they used their High School pictures or that they were imposters. It was all in good fun, verbal swordplay. I used to get quite a few gigs in doing this.

Appraising was the most profitable and most fun back in the mortgage broker days.
