Appraisals pay the bills. Vision builds the business.

In this episode of Appraisers on Purpose, David Ziccardi shares how an ill-timed investment during the 2008 crash sparked a bigger journey, one that led from doing reports to running a real business.

David doesn’t just talk about appraisals—he talks about building a career that scales.

From working under four supervisors just to get certified, to growing a 40% non-lender client base and mentoring trainees, his story is packed with lessons for every appraiser who’s feeling stuck.

You’ll learn:

• Why mindset, not just market data, determines your growth
• How embracing tech early gave David an edge
• What every trainee (and trainer) needs to hear about mentorship

This episode is for appraisers who are ready to shift from surviving to leading, and want to do it with purpose.
