Appraisal shops across the country have been family endeavors from the outset. Even today, if you want to become an appraiser, your chances are far better if you can join the family business. Fathers or Mothers pass along the critical thinking necessary and then supervise their fledglings appraisers. Most times, one of the parents is the appraiser and the other works in the office to keep the workflow moving while the appraiser is out in the field. That’s the case with the Perry family. We thought we’d take a break from the Covid-19 discussion and let you hear from an appraisal family who has been working at it for several decades. Chris and Brittany Perry are a husband and wife team who own CMP Appraisals in Virginia Beach. Some of this may sound nostalgically familiar to you and it’s a sweet read.
