Eric J. Barth used to crank out 300+ appraisals a year, then realized the real money (and the real fun) was in doing the deals himself. In this episode, he shares what most agents overlook, how to really use data to price homes, and why your comps might not be cutting it. This is a masterclass in blending numbers with neighborhood know-how you won’t want to miss!

Key takeaways to listen for
