Thriving Beyond Lending: Diversification and Referral Success with Dan Lindeman
In this episode of Beyond the Numbers, Kevin Hecht sits down with Florida-based appraiser and founder of the Appraisal Referral Network, Dan Lindeman. Dan shares how a chance college job led to a 20-year appraisal career—and how being blacklisted by a lender became a blessing in disguise. He discusses the importance of diversifying beyond lending work, building relationships with clients, earning reviews, and developing a strong online presence. Dan also introduces the Appraisal Referral Network, a platform designed to help appraisers connect, share referrals, and grow their non-lender business. Whether you’re an experienced appraiser or just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable tips and inspiration to help you thrive in a changing industry.
