Valuation & Appraisal
We appraise, but we are not "appraisers": it is necessary to have a much broader view of the real estate spectrum in today’s rapidly changing, global economy. Market value is more often a function of leasing, financing and management, than of the sale prices of other properties in the locality. We therefore approach each assignment as an opportunity to assist the client better manage their assets.
Fees
We believe that our client should know what our services will cost before we commence the assignment … there should be no surprises! We therefore enter into a written contract which clearly specifies the scope and cost of the work. We have constructed a pricing algorithm which enables us to provide fee quotations based on the type, size and location of the property and the type of valuation or appraisal report required.
Valuation & Appraisal Products
In Atlantic Canada we are the benchmark by which others are measured. Our reputation for consistently producing high quality work based on meticulous investigation, in a timely fashion and at reasonable cost, is legendary. In order that clients can select the most cost effective service, one that is precisely matched to their requirements we offer seven valuation and one appraisal product. The most comprehensive products are tools for optimising our client’s real estate assets; performance evaluations comprising a fiscal, physical and legal audit, the outcome of which is an estimation of the asset value and recommendations on improving its performance within the constraints imposed by the client’s objectives and time horizon.
