This is the highest level of recognition the Society can bestow. It is achieved only by undertaking a long-term, intensive course of study in appraisal principles, and passing rigorous examinations on the theory and practice of professional appraising, as well as on ethical standards of practice and legal considerations. Currently, there are fewer than 125 in the United States and Canada.
