The International Automotive Appraisers Association (IAAA) was established in 1994 by a group of automotive appraisers that saw a need for unification and recognition of fellow automotive appraisers by many entities including government agencies. Our current roster includes Professional Appraisers that serve clients around the world.

The IAAA has developed a strict Code of Ethics and the Uniform Standards for Automotive Appraisal Procedure (USAAP). The procedures were established to promote and preserve the public trust with the original draft established in 2007. Ethics are followed  as good business practices. The IAAA USAAP are propitiatory for its’ members. They are a first in the automotive appraisal industry, in that they are specific & unique to the community that IAAA automotive appraisers serve.

The goals of the Association include, educating and training automotive appraisers and promoting professionalism among the member appraisers.

The Association members are represented and identified on the advisory board of the J.D. Power N.A.D.A. Classic, Collectible and Special Interest Car Appraisal Guide. Those in the know rely on the IAAA for input about the valuation process of automobiles. The IAAA Diminished Value programs and certifications have been specifically named in a Judge’s, written decision as a determining their factor.
