What if your appraisal business could give you more freedom—not less?
Many commercial appraisers feel stuck working too many hours, missing out on life's important moments, and doing everything themselves.
And if your business can’t run without you, you risk losing not only your freedom, but also the opportunity to build a valuable business that can thrive without you.
Here's what most appraisers get wrong:Â
They think their business IS their expertise.Â
The truth is... your expertise should be just one component of a much larger, more valuable .
What if I told you that your appraisal practice could be worth well over a million dollars — and run without you being involved in every single detail?
Hi, I'm Calvin Cummings.
I helped build LoopNet, which was purchased by CoStar for $860 million. Then, I co-founded Valbridge, now the largest independent commercial real estate appraisal firm in the United States. I also grew my own LA-based appraisal business from six to seven figures and successfully exited with a seven-figure, all-cash sale in 2022.
Today, I work with aspiring appraisers and appraisal business owners to help them do the same. With the right systems, structure, and strategy, you can build a streamlined, high-value appraisal business that doesn’t have to depend on you to survive.
The result? More financial freedom, more time — and a business that works for you.
