What is the appraisal for?

The purpose sets three things: the scope of work, the date the value is measured at, and who is allowed to rely on the report.

Lender-ready reports for purchase, refinance, or removing default insurance once you have the equity for it.

A retrospective opinion of value as at the date of passing, prepared to withstand review by CRA and by beneficiaries.

An impartial value for property division, written to be relied on by both parties and by counsel.

An independent market value opinion to support a complaint before the Assessment Review Board.

An independent number before you set an asking price or commit to an offer, with no commission riding on the answer.

Values as at a specific past date for a rental conversion, a gift, or the disposition of a secondary property.

Act I · Process

How it runs, start to finish

Stage 01
Order placed
You send the address, the purpose, and the deadline. We confirm scope and fee before any work starts. No surprise invoices.
Stage 02
Site inspection
Every room inspected, every improvement photographed. Condition and quality rated against the standard your intended user requires.
Stage 03
Market research
Closed sales, not asking prices, confirmed through MLS records and available data sources. We track how the market has moved since each one sold: sometimes sharply in weeks, sometimes not at all for months.
Stage 04
Analysis
Every difference priced: size, age, condition, location, and time. If the market moved between a sale and our effective date, the sale is adjusted by what the data shows, not a rule of thumb.
Stage 05
Report delivered
A signed report, prepared to CUSPAP, in your inbox, with the reasoning laid out well enough to survive review.
