What if the key to a 40-year career in appraisal isn’t grinding harder but thinking smarter?In this inspiring episode of Appraisers on Purpose, industry veteran Scott Voltz shares how he built a lasting, trusted appraisal practice through bold focus, investor-level thinking, and a deep belief in showing up when it matters most.

Scott didn’t chase every assignment or market trend. He built a career by specializing geographically staking his claim in a part of northern Los Angeles County and becoming the go-to expert. That single move set him apart and insulated his business for decades, including during the 1994 Northridge earthquake when no one else could reach the area.

For Scott, appraisal isn’t just a profession. It’s a calling grounded in trust, shaped by resilience, and proven over time.
