Trustworthy estate liquidation
The loss of a loved one is a painful time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often entails an appraisal to establish Market Value for the real estate involved. We ensure the highest degree of discretion, as we’re bound with confidentiality by the ethics provision within the Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP).
Unlike wealthier individuals, most Americans don’t have dedicated estate planners or executors to manage these affairs. A home or other property often makes up an uneven share of the total estate value, so knowing the true value of the real estate at hand is of vital importance to ensuring disputing parties walk away knowing they’ve received a fair deal.

Selling your home quickly at the right price
Whether you want to sell your home on your own or use the assistance of a real estate agent, a professional appraisal will help you make a better educated decision when determining your asking price. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what price the house sells for. The price we charge isn’t contingent upon the value we report, but rather they are calculated on our efforts to complete the appraisal.
We determine the difference in value items like an extra bathroom or a kitchen remodel can make on a daily basis. And we’re experts in knowing how long properties are on the market. So, seeking a professional appraisal is a trusted way to determine what improvements will add value and what an appropriate sales price is for your home so you don’t come up short or have your house on the market too long, costing you time and money.
