Now there’s an answer for every Appraiser who is concerned about their future and the ever-changing appraisal profession.
In my online training program, “How to Make Money Doing Appraisal Reviews” I lay out for you exactly what appraisal review work involves and show you how this can be the IDEAL way to make additional or full-time income… extend your career or supplement your retirement.
I’ll also teach you strategies and techniques that are proven to get new accounts for any appraisal business and reveal to you sources that can send you assignments and repeat business for years to come.
There are a lot of classes and courses you can take. But my program covers everything you really need to know about the review business -- things others don’t teach you -- so that you can start making money doing reviews quickly and confidently, without having to learn it all on your own.
After 30 years in the field I had no idea that such a lucrative side to our business was available.

A UNIQUE TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FROM A VETERAN APPRAISER WHO SPECIALIZES IN REVIEW WORK
My name is Ron Maloney and I did my first appraisal in 1982, when I was 25 years old. Back in the day I was the new kid on the block.
Now, I’m a grizzled veteran Appraiser who has learned how to survive AND prosper in both changing and challenging times.
I’ve done field work, owned and operated an appraisal company for almost 2 decades and worked in the review department of one of the largest banks in the country.
In my 30+ year appraisal career I have never been sued, had a license suspended or revoked, been censored, fined or even had a lender file a complaint against me.
But more importantly, I’ve reviewed or had input into well over 100,000 valuation reports and have had the opportunity to work alongside some of the best Appraisers in our profession.
For the past 13 years, I've worked for myself doing appraisal reviews. This would not have been possible if it weren’t for my experience and the mentors I’ve had, especially my father whom I owe a debt of gratitude.
Can you believe it? 45 jobs over 4.5 days! I would never have gotten this far without your tutelage, leadership and expertise in this appraisal niche. Hey, I just might make some serious $$ going forward!

I can show you how to get paid to review reports without leaving home, having any additional expense or paying for a single data source, just like I do.
What’s the income you’d like to make? Maybe your number is a modest one – maybe you’d like to make just a thousand or two a month – enough to supplement your current income or provide a retirement cushion.
Or perhaps you need a full-time income to replace the one you have now. The good news is, that’s doable.
Just wanted to say thanks again! Since taking your course I've been able to move my practice to about 85% review work. It's been very nice and I actually love my job again!

The top 18 reasons to do appraisal reviews
1--You already have the basic expertise to do appraisal reviews.
2--There is less competition, because fewer than 15% of Appraisers do any type of review work at all. So, you are able to offer a special service that your competitors don’t know much about
3--Little or no start-up capital required, low overhead and high profit margins. All you need is a phone, a computer and an Internet connection.
4--No costly data services or software programs to pay for. Work with companies that provide them - this way you save money and are able to do reviews in more areas.
5--You are much less limited geographically. Receive assignments in any area of the state you hold a license. You can increase and diversify your workload by obtaining licenses in other states.
6--With desktop reviews you can work entirely from home so you save on gas and tolls and you don’t need to be concerned about doing inspections in crime ridden areas, having difficulty trying to locate comparables or going out in inclement weather.
7--Appraisers who do review work are in demand and changes in law and new regulation practically guarantee lots of future work, even when refinances and sales slow.
8--Only minimal client interaction is required. You won’t waste time answering numerous emails, calls and revision requests.
9--There is less lender pressure and liability. You are treated with respect and as an expert —not as a commodity.
10--There are no scheduling and appointment issues with desktop reviews and most field review assignments, if you choose to do them. So, you don’t have to deal with ill-tempered or fickle home owners or worry about aggressive dogs.
11--You have greater flexibility. Take on assignments you want and turn down work you don’t.
12--No meetings to go to. Any training needed is done by phone or online. Be yourself and dress the way you want.
13--Desktop reviews are not physically demanding so you can work regardless of most illnesses, injuries, disabilities and limitations.
14--Age is not a factor. Your experience is your biggest advantage - you can turn your hard-earned appraisal knowledge into additional income.
15--If you’re at or near retirement age, performing appraisal reviews can provide a great source of extra income to enhance retirement and sense of achievement.
16--Review assignments can be done on a laptop so you can work remotely from almost anywhere, even when traveling. And, you can easily relocate your business.
17--No chasing late paying customers or running up big accounts receivables - you get paid on time.
18--Offering appraisal review services can provide you with an additional income stream or a full-time business, with significant upside potential.
Ron has a lot of practical insight into this little known part of the business that is here to stay - and certain to get bigger. Best time and money I have spent on an appraisal related course - Hands Down!

Is this profitable and low-key niche for you?
There are Appraisers who are unhappy and struggling, some are looking to make a change.
I understand how they feel because I felt the same - years of being in the field and running a high volume “shop” had exacted a great toll.
At one point I was burnt out and badly in need of a change and nearly left the appraisal profession for good… but I found a MUCH better way.
Making the change to doing review work was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and provided a different path to a better business.
It also helped reinvigorate and extend my career which might otherwise have come to an end.
Doing appraisal reviews might just be what you have been looking for.
You can do them as an add-on to your current business, or on a full-time basis like I do.
And there’s no reason you couldn’t get started making money pretty quickly… you already have the basic knowledge and are set-up to do business.
A friend of mine asked if I was concerned about creating competition and my answer is this: as one person, I can only do a fraction of the review work that is available and teaching is a natural shift or “evolution” in my career.
My goal is simple: to utilize my experience and professional know-how to help some fellow Appraisers make a good living doing work that makes sense and is satisfying.
Not only is Ron a very experienced, highly skilled and dedicated Review Appraiser, he actually enjoys sharing his vast knowledge and motivating people. In Ron’s eyes, your success is his success. I was able to earn over $6,000 in only my third month doing reviews. His approach to the review process has been carefully honed over decades. His teaching methods are clear, concise, logical and easy to understand and his insight to performing review work is incredible.

Your perfect retirement income activity
We’re living much longer now and may need to support a two or three-decade retirement.
One of a retiree’s biggest fears is not having enough money to make ends meet, or last.
A very common mistake retired people make is giving up all of their active income and becoming dependent solely on passive income, like Social Security.
Doing review work can be your answer to live independently, without help from family, friends or the government and create the retirement you want.
With the strong likelihood that many of us will need to earn some extra money in retirement, reviewing appraisals makes a lot of sense and pays well… when you follow my proven program.
My proven program for Appraisers
Twenty-five Appraisers participated in the original “How to Make Money Doing Appraisal Reviews” course and it was a success for all that attended.
Students included men and women who live and appraise properties in large cities, suburban neighborhoods and rural areas.
They were wide ranging in age and with varied backgrounds, many had little or no review experience.
An Appraiser who specialized in doing commercial work took the course as well as several experienced Reviewers, including one who had worked in the review department of FNMA.
Today, most of my students are busy doing appraisal reviews to supplement their incomes and an increasing number do review work full-time.
Additionally, participants indicate that they are more confident and less concerned about liability due to the ability to write better appraisal reports.
And not a single student requested a refund, even though I offered a money back guarantee to ensure their total satisfaction.
