Marketing and management tips for appraisers

Managing an appraisal business is much easier than businesses such as restaurants, which are much more management intensive. However, very few appraisal businesses are large enough to support owners/managers who are also not producers, doing appraisals and/or reviewing staff work.

I have been writing about appraisal business management topics in my newsletter, Appraisal Today, formerly Appraisal Management & Marketing since June, 1992. I have included information plus links in each section.

For business books, reprints, and tapes specifically for appraisers, go to Our Business information products.  Our favorite business books for appraisers has general business books useful for appraisers.

Or, Our Marketing Books and Tapes. 

Here are articles previously published in  Appraisal Today on popular management topics for appraisers.
