Valuing commercial real estate during a global pandemic

February 28, 2022 • Lucas Rotter • Season 1 • Episode 1

Demand for valuation professionals is at an all-time high and commercial real estate appraisers are taking on more jobs and working longer hours as a result.

In this episode of "Opinions of Value," series host Lucas Rotter and guest speakers discuss the effects of the global health crisis on the commercial real estate industry – specifically commercial real estate appraisals. How are valuation professionals managing skyrocketing demand at a time when aging professionals are exiting the business? How are valuation firms appealing to a younger demographic of professionals to backfill vacant roles? What role does technology serve for valuation professionals managing heavy workloads? We discuss all of this and more in today's episode!
