Our expert team is highly qualified and up to date with market changes.

We follow the international standards set forth by the ASA – American Society of Appraisers (Washington, DC) through the USPAP – Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, as well as ethical standards. We are members of IBAPE – Brazilian Institute of Engineering Appraisals and Investigation, a class union formed by engineers, architects and authorized companies that operate in the areas of appraisal and investigation, whose standards were developed according to the basic principles of the international standards set forth by the IVSC – International Valuation Standards Committee and by the UPAV –Pan American Union of Appraisal Associations, IVSC’s international committee on appraisal standards, integrated by national entities of the American continent dedicated to the appraisal of routinely adopted procedures in Brazil.
