Services
Current Market Value Appraisal
Our current market value appraisals provide detailed property valuations based on recent sales data, neighborhood trends, and property condition. We inspect properties thoroughly, documenting features and generating 20-30 page reports with photographic evidence and comparable sales analysis. This service helps homeowners, lenders, and legal professionals make informed decisions about property transactions and assessments.
Estate Settlement Appraisal
We conduct estate settlement appraisals to determine fair market value for inheritance tax calculations or family property divisions. Our reports meet court requirements with retrospective valuations based on date of passing. Certified appraisers follow Canadian Uniform Standards to ensure defensible valuations for executors and legal representatives handling estate administration.
Capital Gains Appraisal
Our capital gains appraisals document property values at conversion dates for tax reporting purposes. We prepare retrospective reports required by Canada Revenue Agency when principal residences become rental properties. Detailed analysis includes historical market data and comparable sales to support accurate tax calculations for income-producing property sales.
Marital Separation Appraisal
We provide impartial property valuations for asset division during divorce proceedings. Our reports include current or retrospective values as required by legal counsel. Certified appraisers follow standardized methodologies to produce court-accepted documentation that supports equitable property settlements between separating parties.
Relocation Appraisal
Our relocation appraisals determine guaranteed home prices for corporate employee relocation programs. We analyze market trends, conditional sales, and listing data to establish competitive pricing. Reports follow CERC standards using industry-specific forms to meet both employee and employer requirements during corporate relocation processes.
