Blaine Feyen is the founder of the Real Value Coaching Academy. Blaine is also the chief appraiser and founder of the Real Value Group, an appraisal firm founded in 2005 after several years building and running a very large residential and commercial real estate appraisal firm with a former partner.
Before founding the Real Value Group, Blaine lead a large residential and commercial appraisal firm to exponential growth while also starting another entrepreneurial venture offering business training and coaching to new and existing appraisers within the firm. During that time, Blaine developed one of the most comprehensive Appraiser training programs the industry had seen up to that point.
Blaine's appraiser training programs covered aspects of the appraisal profession typically not taught in licensing courses and mentoring programs. The courses covered topics such as sales and marketing, social media, business development, utilizing the latest technology, public speaking, using video technology for appraising, prospecting for new business, mindsets for success, optimizing an office, using virtual assistants, developing a web presence, podcasting and using video for success, mentoring other appraisers, vital communication skills for Appraisers, and how to work 'on' your business while working 'in' your business.
Blaine founded the Real Value Group in 2005 with a vision of having a collaborative office of like minded appraisers and professionals from other industries all under one roof. The idea worked even better than imagined! Real Value Group became a business incubator for success minded individuals from several industries. Blaine has mentored and personally trained more than 10 appraisers since 2005, most of whom have gone on to build their own successful appraisal firms. All of the appraisers who were mentored by Blaine and started their own firms still collaborate with the Real Value Group in a variety of ways. Since Blaine’s teaching and mentoring philosophy includes the belief that there is enough business for everybody and nobody is considered a competitor, Blaine has graciously helped many others build successful careers in the appraisal industry while experiencing exponential growth every year since 2005.
In addition to Blaine's busy appraisal business, Blaine is a sought after teacher, speaker, and business coach, speaking regularly to real estate and lending groups around the country. Blaine is also a 4th degree Black Belt in the martial art of Aikido, a student of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and the founder of one of the largest full time martial arts academies in the Midwest. In the early 1990's, Blaine was accepted into the prestigious Leadership Development Academy as a full time live-in student under the renowned Aikido and Zen Master, Fumio Toyoda.
