About the Designation

The Global Valuer Alliance — a personal mark of international recognition.


WAVO established a platform to list qualified valuation professionals who are members of WAVO organisations, and to identify and designate individual members of these organisations for clients and interested parties.

Since June 2018, WAVO has given its member organisations the right to confer on qualified valuers the title "WAVO World Recognised Valuer" — WAVO WRV. The designation documents high quality and valuation expertise worldwide, uniformly and transparently, so international clients can identify the right expert in any given country at a glance.

Qualified valuers bearing this designation have undergone recognised training and hold sufficient professional experience across a defined set of core competencies — see the full criteria and how to apply below.
