Abstract: The ARES Body of
Knowledge Committee surveyed its members in order to uncover the current state of the art
in the practice of the body of knowledge (BOK) and skills that generated a series of
conclusions and recommendations. One important conclusion was that the questions and
issues surrounding the BOK are too large for one individual or group to address
effectively and that ARES should continue to sponsor the BOK committee, BOK presentations
at its annual meeting, publication of articles in the Journal of Real Estate Literature,
periodic surveys, and coordination with BOK committees of other allied organizations. The
BOK needs continual research and discussion before it can evolve into a final paradigm
that is acceptable to all users.
