Our Senior Managing Director, Arthur Schwertz, was featured in the Appraisers on Purpose podcast with Chief Appraiser and host, Michael Hobbs, Why “Weird” Properties Pay More.
From the article:
In this bonus “Amusing PahRooZings” episode, veteran appraiser Arthur Schwertz challenges a common industry mindset: stick to safe, standard assignments to stay afloat.
Instead, Arthur shares how leaning into unusual and complex properties from rural hospitals to water rights has not only kept his business strong but made it thrive. For Arthur, “weird” isn’t risky, it’s smart. Specialty assignments mean better fees, less competition, and more interesting work. And when combined with litigation support, they create a profitable niche most appraisers overlook. He doesn’t just preach this, he lives it. With engaging stories and no-nonsense advice, Arthur shows how appraisers can build resilience and relevance by doing the work others avoid.
Tune in to this special episode to hear how thinking differently helped Arthur Schwertz build a business that’s as rewarding as it is resilient.
