The Phantom Menace: Critical Issues in Right of Way Appraisal!!

Infrastructure Junkies! Exploring Eminent Domain, Right of Way, and Infrastructure Development (formerly The Pendulum Land Podcast)

In this fascinating discussion about various issues encountered in right of way or eminent domain appraisal assignments with our good friends Brian O'Neill and David Burgoyne, Infrastructure Junkies! takes a deep dive on what's hot in the industry. Our guests educate us on the purpose and mechanics of review appraisals, which is an opinion on the quality of another appraiser's work. They also touch on appraisal requirements established by the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisitions Act and walk us through the difference between major and minor deficiencies in an appraisal. Hear how and why the right of way appraisal business is very special, and how it is different from "run of the mill appraisals". Hear why temperament is a critical key to being an effective eminent domain appraiser, what obstacles and barriers there are in eminent domain appraising and why Dave gets so wound up by hubris and arrogance of many appraisers. Along the way, discover the beauty of Brian's home state, Idaho, and maybe Dave doesn't know as much about oysters as he wants everyone to believe. And Kristen puts Mr. Burgoyne through the paces of "Over, Under, Push".
