SIV is a professional association which promotes real estate valuation practice in the interests of local authorities, property owners, investors, planners and banks.

Meeting today’s quality requirements in the property sector demands a high level of expertise in the valuation field. Following this principle and acting as a professional association of real estate appraisers, SIV promotes valuation practice in the interests of all concerned. It has paved the way for the formation of the Swiss Institute of Real Estate Appraisal, SIREA; a fully owned subsidiary of SIV with operational autonomy specialising in training and further education in the appraisal field. SIV also supports the exchange of ideas and knowledge among its members.

SIV provides real estate appraisers with a platform for professional training and further education and professional exchange. For local authorities, property owners, investors, planners and credit institutions, SIV is an important quality guarantee in the field of valuation.
