Tim, Brian, others.... Still grappling with the best way to make this happen. Since my office manager/assistant will be working remotely, I am trying to figure the best workflow, etc. A key question is how to setup the system so that the office m...

More on AMC's and Fighting for Your Fees

I received an order late last week from one of my clients at National City (a client who I hadn't heard from in quite a while). He mentioned that they have, at least temporarily, gone back to using NAS for appraisal management. NAS pays the full o...

Brian, Great info. I am actually looking at using a virtual assistant through a company like www.teamdoubleclick.com. They seem to have a significant number of folks who have a real estate focus. I have interacted with a one virtual assistant aff...

Brian Davis replied to Frank John's discussion 'Considerations in Hiring an Assistant'

Frank - Hiring the right person is critcal in this process. They HAVE to have many of the technical and research skills that we expect appraisers to have. Possibly a moonlighting sales agent would work? or local college student majoring in finance...
