The Appraisers Association of America

The Appraisers Association of America (AAA) is a professional organization that supports appraisers—experts who determine the value of art, antiques, and other valuable items. Founded in 1980, the AAA promotes high standards in appraisal practices, offers educational resources, and provides a forum for networking among members. It plays a key role in enhancing the credibility of appraisers by offering certifications, guidelines, and advocacy for the profession. The association helps ensure that appraisals are accurate and reliable, which is essential for buyers, sellers, and collectors in the art and antiques market.
