• Have you ever wondered if anyone
really gets wealthy in the appraisal business?
•
Do you think your specialty is too narrow or too broad to charge what you’re really worth?
•
Are you stuck with the small appraisal jobs and those low-paying clients that
don’t
appreciate or understand your level of training and knowledge?
•
Sick and tired of untrained, untested, uneducated people calling themselves
appraisers
who keep stealing your clients?
• Ever wonder
what it would be like to have all the business you really wanted
with
the right clients paying you top dollar for your expertise and knowledge?
• Think
you're in a community too small to support you and your practice?
|
|
|
|
Well the truth is...
-
no matter what your specialty,
-
no matter what
your business experience
-
no matter how
small or large your town
-
no matter who your
clients are now...
You
can transform your appraisal business into a ticket to freedom.
-
You can make your business work for you.
-
You can run your business --
and not let your business run you.
-
You can find and retain the best clients, the best jobs,
and bill your best rate on every appraisal you perform.
-
You can have more free time to do what you want to do, instead of
being bogged down with unproductive non-billable work that
drains your energy, your money, and your enthusiasm.

| “This
past couple weeks we have booked a Divorce Appraisal, Estate Appraisal,
Brokering a Collection, Donation Appraisal plus several speaking events. I
attribute the upturn in our appraisal business to the tools, suggestions and
examples provided by the Boot Camp seminars. I was able to implement
several strategies like networking and targeting “gate keepers” to focusing
our business. I am still seeing results even 2 years after taking the
initial class.”

The most qualified appraisers
are not necessarily,
the most successful appraisers.
|
Just because someone can effectively
appraise, doesn't mean he or she can effectively market and sell appraisal
services.
The most successful and profitable
appraisers are those people who know the strategies, and the tactics of
effective marketing and business development, and know how to use them.
|
|
This is the final wake-up
call for those qualified appraisers who are ready to make a major change in
their business.
-
You can believe the myths about how to run an appraisal business.
-
You can sift through hundreds of books on marketing
sales, and operating a small business, hoping to find an author
that knows what he’s talking about.
-
You can struggle with tiny, low-paying appraisal assignments that are loaded with aggravation and time-wasting paperwork.
-
You can give up and settle for a
career and an income that's less than you deserve.
OR,
You can take action,
and change your business
and your life - forever.
Finally --someone noticed that appraisers should make a good
living and then created a powerful seminar for that purpose. In ten years
of seminars, conferences, classes, and lectures, the Professional Appraisers
Bootcamp was the best investment I've ever made in education. It's one of
those rare seminars that not only tells you what to do, but how to actually do
it! Thanks for making a significant contribution to the appraisal
profession and to my future income!

Hi,
I'm Brian Kathenes. Leon Castner and I know that the appraisal
business is one of the most exciting, thrilling, and profitable businesses
you can own and run.
We also know the challenges you
face. We know the struggles you live through, and we can show you how
to quickly, effectively, and easily take your appraisal practice to an
unimagined level of success.
When we first started our
appraisal businesses over 20 years ago, we struggled to find clients and were
lucky to book any kind of
appraisal work. We scraped and stumbled to keep our appraisal
practices afloat. We wondered if we could survive in the appraisal
business.
But then we discovered the
secrets of marketing appraisal services to high-end clients and even to the
"locals," and created one
of the most successful appraisal firms in the nation.
It didn't happen overnight.
I read over 135 marketing and sales books. I researched the specific elements of the
selling and marketing of appraisal services. We took all of my
marketing and sales expertise of other successful businesses and made the
subtle and drastic changes and applied it to the
appraisal business. Leon studied the metrics and looked at our
marketing and sales campaign results.
It took us thousands of hours and tens of thousands of dollars. We tested ideas and failed. We tested
something else and failed. We kept trying new ideas, different
systems...
And then President Richard
Nixon's lawyers called, and we landed the one of biggest appraisal jobs
of our careers --
It was the Nixon Watergate
Presidential Papers Case!
And the phone kept ringing
with solid,
steady, highly-profitable, appraisal work from dozens of clients, ready and
willing to pay our top appraisal and consulting rates.
Bingo! We had
discovered and created the appraisal marketing system that would keep us in
exciting, challenging, and high-paying appraisal work forever.
We want to
share our appraisal marketing and
business development secrets with you.
We've
presented our proven system of appraisal success
to a limited number of hand-picked appraisers in our famous,
live, three-day
NAC Appraiser's Marketing Bootcamp.
And now, We've packaged
the whole program into a
special kit
just for you called the:
NAC
Appraiser's Marketing
Bootcamp-in-a-Box
Why are they doing this?
Actually there are two reasons:
1) Because, we believe highly-trained, professional
appraisers, should be really wealthy!
And...
2) Because, most appraisal professionals are
highly-trained and qualified appraisers, but lousy business people, and,
We know that professionally trained appraisers have the best appraisal qualifications in the profession, but
we also know that most appraisers don’t have the foggiest idea of how to successfully market an appraisal practice.
You've spent
thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours becoming a qualified,
competent appraiser --
Isn't it time you made all that hard work and
appraisal training pay off for you?

I just wanted to tell you guys how busy I am with appraisals all of a sudden. I honestly cannot keep up with the requests for appraisals right now. Thank you so much for the encouragement. Your boot camp gave me the confidence to take on jobs I would have been afraid to take on earlier.
The Appraisal Boot Camp was without a doubt the best appraisal training that I have had. The network group that we formed at boot camp was worth the price of the course alone.
Brian and Leon openly shared their knowledge with us from their many years and experiences in this business. I learned to step out of my “comfort zone” and it has literally paid off! I would recommend the boot camp to new appraisers and to those that have been in the business for many years. I have a newfound enthusiasm for my business!

I arrived in Dallas to attend the NAC Appraisers Boot Camp with great expectations. The topics that the course covered were all the areas that My Business needed help with. Like someone said "The Core Courses can teach us to be good appraisers but what they don't teach us is how to be good businessmen!" I especially liked all of the insider information that was shared with us, Thanks to the course you have shaved years off my learning curve. Your course has definitely kick-started my Appraisal Business! I left Dallas with much more than I ever could have dreamed. Thank you Leon and Brian for erasing all my "Limiting Conditions" Johanna Johnson

What a great job you two did. I'm still reeling, ready to close the shop doors and market, market, market for the appraisal end of my business. Being a full-time appraiser & part-time shopkeeper is now a realistic 5-year goal. It's been a long-time goal, but without confidence in knowing how to go about it. Since the bills still have to be paid, the shop must live until I can replace it with what I prefer doing these days. Any business is only as good as who's at the top and I see why both of you have had successful businesses. Your sincerity, openness and easy-going manners coupled with your willingness to share and ability to motivate make you terrific at what you do. Thanks for offering the bootcamp and including me in it.

Newspaper writer just left the house. I stood up in Rotary and paid a
dollar to say my name was in writing in the rec dept catalog. I met with
the head librarian and I have the display case for June, which will help promote
my 2 part series of classes in July at the rec. dept. AND she gave me a list of
contacts for press releases.
I found
a…class on how to use their research system, and I will probably hook into her
genealogy class and tell people how to date old photos. She also wants me
to recommend books for their antiques and collectibles section.
I
can't tell you how happy (BIG SMILE HERE) I am about the results I am realizing
from the class. I won't bore you anymore with the successes...

Here's what more of our bootcamp alumni have
to say:
This course teaches the business aspect of our contacts with clients. Great ideas came from our group because we all knew the investment in money and time for that weekend was minor compared to what we got in return. Also that access to Leon and Brian in the future is worth the price of the course alone.

When you are ready to hear…things
happen! The Appraiser’s Boot Camp is where I began to appreciate how some
truly fundamental business procedures and ideas are crucial to success.
And, with this realization came a plan for action and the support for
implementing these very concepts. I have had the encouragement to step out
and focus on things out of my normal comfort zone.
I have made tremendous strides in
only a few short months in doing things for my business that I have known
for a very long time were most important. The Appraiser’s Boot Camp was my
“round tuit.” Thank you Brian and Leon!

The Bootcamp offered by National Appraisal Consultants helped to sharpen existing tools and introduce new ones. In the week since completing the workshop I have implemented several new strategies, refined the utilization of a few tactics, and as a result I'm building a stronger practice, developing new business, and have already increased revenues.
