Commercial Appraisals

We have six commercial real estate experts on our team who are all active in Industrial Commercial Investment markets, both urban and rural. Our specialties include:

  • Office, Retail and Service

We work with the public and private sector, individual property owners and lenders on a variety of office, retail and service real estate valuations.

  • Industrial

From warehouses to factories and machine shops, we have experience with both owner-occupied industrial warehouse properties and multi-tenant holdings.

  • Multi-Family

Our team can help you with valuing new and existing projects in the Calgary Metropolitan Area.

  • Land Development

We specialize in multi-parcel appraisal projects and use the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis to determine value. DCF considers things like potential income, carrying costs, the absorption period and resulting net cash flow to determine the value of the property.

Residential Appraisals

We work with individual home owners as well as lenders and lawyers to produce our valuation reports in a timely manner. Our team is experienced in both urban and rural single-family and multi-family appraisals in and around the Calgary area.

For single-family homes, we can help with fast, fair and market-based valuations on urban single-family houses, residential acreages, cabins and other recreational properties.

For multi-family properties, we’re your first port of call for single-title condos as well as multi-unit apartment buildings.

Farm & Acreage Appraisals

Just as agriculture is of immeasurable importance to the Alberta economy, agricultural appraisals are an important and ever-expanding part of our business. In fact, we have valuers who specialize in agriculture to ensure our agriculture clients get accurate appraisals for their working farms and hobby farms.

Cropping, livestock operations and equine property valuations are among our multi-parcel farming expertise, which can help you with succession planning, tax evaluations (capital gains), and selling or buying a farm.
Our farm appraisals can help you with:

Lenders recognize our expertise in residential and agricultural appraisals, and use us to value hobby farms and working farms throughout the province.

Reserve Fund Studies & Depreciation Reports

As mandated by Alberta’s Condominium Property Act, reserve fund studies must be completed every five years, to assess and assist with a condo corporations long-range financial plan, and to assess the health of the condo corp’s reserve fund. A thorough study is important as the health of the fund directly affects the purchasing decision of buyers.

In Calgary and across the province, we specialize in in preparing reserve fund studies and periodic updates for all types of condo projects including mixed and phased developments. We specifically look at projected costs to repair or replace components of the building and whether the current fund is adequate to handle the repairs, and help you protect your property’s value.

Insurance Cost Appraisals

Individual property owners, insurers and condo corporations use insurance appraisals to assess the replacement costs to existing building improvements and property infrastructure for insurance coverage.

We can help with insurance cost appraisals to ensure you and your property are adequately protected in case of flood, fire or other disasters.
Understanding current construction costs is important to build an accurate insurance cost appraisal. Because our team works on residential and commercial appraisals on a daily basis, we have an up-to-date understanding of building costs and are well positioned to help you.

If you’re not sure if you need an insurance cost appraisal or not, or you’re not sure what they entails, give us a call.
