AAppraisal Standards Board

The Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) is a group that creates and maintains professional guidelines for real estate appraisers in the United States. Their standards ensure that appraisals, or property value assessments, are conducted consistently, accurately, and ethically. This helps lenders, buyers, and sellers trust the valuation process. The ASB's rules underpin the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), which is the accepted national standard for real estate appraisals. Essentially, the ASB promotes professionalism and integrity in property valuation to support fair and reliable real estate transactions.
