Professional membership certificate (PMC)
Embrace the potential of a PMC and invest in a future of professional and financial growth.
Becoming a member of the International Association of Valuers (IAV) grants you a Professional Membership Certificate (PMC) — an invaluable investment in your future. Membership to the IAV is exclusive, with limited availability, making your PMC a sought-after and tradeable asset. Over time, its value has the potential to grow, offering financial benefits beyond your professional earnings.
Why a PMC is Valuable
- Scarcity Creates Demand: The exclusivity of IAV membership enhances the value of PMCs in the professional marketplace.
- Tradeable Asset: Your PMC can be sold at any time, with its market value determined by the current demand for IAV memberships. The IAV occasionally offers buy-back opportunities to members.
Leasing Your PMC
A PMC also offers leasing options, enabling flexibility for both owners and aspiring professionals:
- Full Rights Lease: Ideal for professionals unable to acquire a membership due to unavailability or high market value. The lessor (owner) temporarily forfeits the right to practice under the IAV masthead during the lease period.
- Partial Rights Lease: Allows the lessee to practice under the IAV masthead but must do so under the guidance of the lessor, who remains active in their practice.
PMC Investor Leasing
PMC investors can lease their certificates to approved lessees, enabling aspiring valuers to benefit from IAV membership even when direct acquisition is not possible.
How to Get Started
Owning a PMC is a gateway to professional recognition and financial opportunities. Whether you choose to hold, sell, or lease your certificate, the PMC offers unparalleled flexibility and value.
