Rigorous Accreditation Process |
|
Each individual seeking SoCal Appraisers membership must obtain accreditation from the American Society of Appraisers and furnish professional and personal references and be subject to local credit and background investigations. In addition, the SoCal Appraisers conducts personal interviews and evaluate the practices of all applicants to assure that only the most qualified in Southern California can obtain ASA accreditation. The American Society of Appraisers enforces a strict Code of Ethics that all ASA-accredited appraisers must adhere. The ASA also enforces a strict reaccredidation process whereby designated members must regularly submit evidence of professional growth through participation in professional activities and continuing education. This ensures that ASA appraisers keep their knowledge up-to-date. The process of obtaining ASA-accreditation is generally known within appraiser circles as being the most intensive in the industry. |
