What is NRMAA?
The National Reverse Mortgage Appraisers Association was established in 2007 to ensure real estate appraisers are serving the needs of older Americans. While all licensed and certified appraisers are required to comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, our members go beyond the minimum by complying with our Code of Ethics and must pass a test covering basic appraisal techniques; USPAP, FHA standards and basic reverse mortgage program questions.
