The National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP)
USPAP through the Appraisal Foundation focuses on the requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers that are set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. USPAP was developed in 1998 and is revised annually for The Appraisal Foundation with assistance from the Education Council of Appraisal Foundation Sponsors (ECAFS).
USPAP emphasizes the role of the appraiser and the impartiality associated with this role. USPAP is designed to aid appraisers in all areas of appraisal practice seeking competency in USPAP, including those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers.
The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice have been endorsed and adopted by major appraisal organizations of the United States and Canada. As required by federal law, USPAP must be used by states in their real estate appraiser certification programs.
Robert and Melissa Storment are currently in the process of completing the USPAP course in order to receive this certification.
