The Appraisal Update - Episode 211 | Melissa Bond's Practical Appraiser Training Program

We, as appraisers, are valuation experts. Every day, we develop opinions of value for what’s often a person’s biggest asset — their home.But let me ask you something: Are you sure that’s their biggest asset?What if your most valuable asset isn’t your house, your business, or even your bank account? What if it’s your time, your health, and your relationships? Those are the things that truly define value, the things that can’t be replaced or appraised with a form or a number.This Thanksgiving, I want to say thank you to all the appraisers out there for your dedication and hard work. I hope you’re safe, well, enjoying great food, and maybe catching a little football, too. But more than that, I hope you take a quiet moment to reflect on what’s really important: the people and experiences that make this life meaningful.In this episode, I share a saying I once heard from a 100-year-old man who reminded everyone of what truly matters. I’ll also share a few personal experiences — how I’ve learned (and am still learning) to stay calm through life’s ups and downs, and how growing up doesn’t mean getting older. It means gaining perspective.So, as you celebrate this Thanksgiving, take time to value your own value. Be thankful. Be present. And appreciate this short, beautiful life we get to live.Happy Thanksgiving, from me, Bryan Reynolds, and all of us at The Appraisal Update Podcast. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel to watch these episodes: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/c/AppraisereLearning'>   /appraiserelearning</a> ✅ NEED APPRAISER CE?
