REV – Expert Valuer in Real Estate Property |
– The international nature of real estate markets, particularly for a country like Greece, which looks forward to international funds that will invest in the local real estate market, makes the cross-border cooperation between valuers a necessity.
– The “opening” of the Greek valuation market, along with the abolition of the Body of Sworn-in Valuers (BSV/SOE) necessitated the need of increased qualifications for registration in the Register of Certified Valuers of the Ministry of Economics, which succeeded BSV.
- In other words, the necessity exists both in Greece and across the European market.
- For this reason, the REV status, from the very start was – and still is – broadly accepted by both the real estate community and by the market in general.
- Today there are 542 Recognized European Valuers in Greece and totally 2.882 across Europe.
How To Attain REV Status
In Greece the REV status can be attained only by members of the Association of Greek Valuers (AVAG/Σ.ΕΚ.Ε.), which is a recognized Member Assocciation by TEGoVA and has been authorized to award the REV status.
That means that AVAG:
- meets the standards required by TEGoVA
- has signed a Recognition Convention
- covers the financial obligations of the Recognition Convention
- is being monitored periodically for compliance with the Recognition
Regular members of AVAG, who cover the requirements listed in the following table and succeed in written exams, in order to ensure that they possess the minimum level of knowledge established by the TEGoVA, are eligible to the REV status

The candidate who succeed the exams and is nominated with the «Recognised European Valuer» status has the right to use this title, as well as the distinctive REV after his name.
