appraisal education

Join Bryan and his business partner Hal Humphreys, host of the Appraisal Buzzcast, as they share a few ghost stories:

• Hear about the famous case of the Haunted House on the Hudson and the "Ghostbusters Ruling,” a legal opinion stating that "as a matter of law, the house is haunted."
• Find out how real estate agents deal with houses that just feel "off" — by hiring "home energy cleaners" to perform  exorcism rituals.
• Learn what a "real estate damage economics" specialist meant when he said, "I don't believe in ghosts, but I believe in markets."

Don't miss this thrilling, chilling episode about superstition and stigma and perception, perception, perception.
