“Appraisers on Purpose” Podcast

From Pickup Truck to National Brand: Chad Barker on the "Appraisers on Purpose" Podcast

Most appraisers never venture beyond their zip code. But Velox Valuations founder Chad Barker had something else in mind.

In the latest episode of Appraisers on Purpose, Chad shares the journey from his very first ride-along as a trainee to co-founding one of the largest AMCs in the country — and now, building the first residential appraisal franchise in the U.S.

This episode dives into:

How Velox grew from a local firm to a national force
Why franchising is the next frontier for independent appraisers
What it means to scale with integrity, purpose, and vision
If you're an appraiser ready to think bigger — or just curious how one person can reshape an industry — you won’t want to miss this conversation.
