About ASA

The American Society of Appraiser is an organization of appraisal professionals and others interested in the appraisal profession.  International in structure, it is self-supporting and independent. The oldest and only major appraisal organization representing all of the disciplines of appraisal specialists, the society originated in 1936 and incorporated in 1952.

The society is dedicated to the benefit of the appraisal profession. It is one of eight major appraisal societies that, in 1987, founded the Appraisal Foundation, a national nonprofit organization created to establish uniform criteria for professional appraisers. Since 1989 the Appraisal Foundation has been recognized by the U.S. Congress as the source for the development and promulgation of appraisal standards and qualifications.
