Most appraisers think about advertising as an expense, but what's the real cost of waiting for the phone to ring? If you complete 15 appraisals per month at $500 each, that's $7,500 in revenue. What if you could do 25 appraisals instead? The $1,000 you might spend on marketing could generate $7,500 to $10,000 in additional monthly revenue. The question isn't whether you can afford to advertise—it's whether you can afford not to.
