Instead of taking advantage of a broken system, The Green Mission Inc. works with green industry leaders and appraisal standard boards and other relevant decision makers to insist upon raising the bar across the appraisal industry. We work to promulgate appraiser requirements such as: college course completion in relevant fields of study (including finance, accounting, and construction management), rigorous examination standards, a closer inspection of relevant work experience, stronger continuing education course requirements, and an overall competency demonstrated through evaluation of produced appraisals.
The primary educational organizations for personal property appraisers are Universal Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), the International Society of Appraisers (ISA), the American Society of Appraisers (ASA), and the Appraisers Association of America (AAA). Not only is our Vice President and Lead Appraiser an active member of the ISA who has taken various CE courses from all of these organizations, but her six years of personal property/deconstruction experience and requisite college education joins a team led by individuals with an MS in Accounting and an MS in Construction Management.
TGMI’s goal is to create a trusted community of appraisal industry colleagues sharing our mission of raising the bar on the industry and ensuring only those with requisite education and skill are considered Qualified Appraisers. Because you need a qualified appraisal if you want to take advantage of the tax benefits from your donation, it is more important than ever to ensure that we protect this industry by only promoting truly Qualified Appraisers worthy of the title.
The Green Mission Inc. is built on a foundational triad incorporating the expertise of tax guidance, construction management and appraisal experience to ensure a comprehensive approach to accomplishing maximum waste diversion.
