Directory History
Founded in 2024, the Appraisers Who's Who Directory emerged from recognition that clients needed a reliable resource for locating qualified evaluation professionals across diverse specialization areas. The proliferation of unqualified individuals offering appraisal services created risks for consumers, estates, institutions, and businesses requiring credible valuations.
Our founders, themselves experienced appraisal professionals, established rigorous vetting standards and comprehensive credential verification processes to distinguish truly qualified experts from individuals lacking appropriate training, experience, or ethical commitment.
Professional Associations
Our directory works in cooperation with recognized professional organizations including:
American Society of Appraisers (ASA)
Appraisers Association of America (AAA)
International Society of Appraisers (ISA)
Appraisal Institute (AI)
American Numismatic Association (ANA)
American Philatelic Society (APS)
Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG)
While we are an independent directory, we recognize and respect the credentialing standards these organizations maintain.

Regular Standards Review: Ongoing evaluation of vetting criteria to maintain relevance and rigor
Emerging Specializations: Addition of new expert categories as markets and professional practices develop
