Pearl’s Accreditation Standards establish the criteria through which a source of home data becomes recognized as meeting minimum requirements to:
Be used to generate a Pearl score and/or
Be recognized as a Qualified Source of certifiable data
Pearl’s Accreditation Standards are also used to categorize and classify different types of home data — and whether one source is deemed to be more accurate and credible than another source. These Standards also help Pearl to transparently communicate to the homeowner, home buyers, appraisers, and others about the specific features of a home, when that data was last verified, and the source of that data.
