Standards
Members of the Association of Online Appraisers are required to comply with the AOA's Appraisal Report Writing Standard as well as with the AOA's Code of Ethics.
Standards set forth what is considered by the AOA to constitute professional and ethically proper appraisal practices. Standards not only act as guidelines to competent practice for its members, but they also provide users of appraisal services with a benchmark by which they can gauge the adequacy of an appraiser's services.
Standards aid the AOA in accomplishing its goals which are to:
- To help member appraisers become more knowledgeable and skilled — both to improve their marketability and to improve the effectiveness of the services they offer to the public
- To encourage sound professional practices among members
- To increase public awareness of what constitutes good appraisal practice
- To establish standards by which the public can gauge the professionalism of online appraisal services and the adequacy of the online appraisal work product
