D., ARA established Terra Western Associates in Bozeman, Montana in 2005.
In the 1980's the general appraisal industry began to be extensively regulated and appraisers have been held to higher and higher standards ever since.
Because of the liability involved in the appraisal world many older, more seasoned, rural appraisers are not willing to take on appraiser trainees and with this fact the number of rural appraisers has begun to dwindle.

If an appraiser is certified or licensed in their state they are required to perform appraisals according to the most current Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
These standards are the definitive standards of the appraisal profession, developed for appraisers and the users of appraisal services by the Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) of The Appraisal Foundation.
In 2010 the Appraisal Practices Board (APB) was developed by the Appraisal Foundation.
The APB now has the task of identifying and issuing opinions on Recognized Valuation Methods and Techniques, which may apply to all disciplines within the appraisal profession.
