ASFMRA Accreditation

The ASFMRA has two professional designations for appraisers. Our professional appraisal designations are widely recognized and meet or exceed the standards of other professional appraisal designations. The ASFMRA appraisal designations are: the Accredited Rural Appraiser – ARA, and the Real Property Review Appraiser – RPRA.

Designated members meet stringent standards that substantially exceed all state and federal licensing requirements. These members have successfully completed a rigorous process that includes education, work review, a comprehensive exam, a demonstration appraisal report or appraisal review report, and specified experience requirements. Designated members also commit to continuing education requirements to ensure continued professional competence in an ever-changing world. The ASFMRA also offers two non-appraisal designations: the Accredited Farm Manager -- AFM, and the Accredited Agricultural Consultant -- AAC.
