[Bobbleheads] Known For Their Ubiquitous Media Verbosity
Posted by Jonathan J. Miller under Humor or Whimsy , In The Media , Media & Marketing[2] Comments
In the current issue of The Real Deal magazine, the article Real estate’s most verbose talking heads: A look at the busy schedules of NYC’s go-to market pundits…
…goes haywire with Adobe Illustrator and selects four go to media resources:
Barbara Corcoran, the founder of the Corcoran Group and now a regular on the “Today Show”; Jonathan Miller, the ubiquitous president of appraisal firm Miller Samuel; Dan Fasulo, managing director at Real Capital Analytics; and Bob Knakal, chairman of Massey Knakal Realty are just a few among a growing bunch of go-to contacts.
I think the bobblehead designation is a compliment? Verbosity? I always used that word in the “long-winded” connotation. Well, my phone simply rings – plus – I’ve been known to hang out on car dashboards on the weekends.
Aside: Bob Knakal is a long time colleague who has generously agreed to sit down with me on my podcast, The Housing Helix, in a few weeks.

Miller said he sees himself as an advocate for transparency in an industry often clouded by public-relations spin. “I kind of wear the market on my sleeve,” he said.
I appreciate your continued effort to scrub and improve the industry. You are showing appraisers how to be better.

Thanks Edd – you have articulated the plight of appraisers in the mortgage process better than anyone I know.
