    Joe was efficient and personable. Would highly recommend his professional services. He offered a fair market analysis based on comparable houses. He thoroughly went through our house and noted and took pictures of items other appraisers may have glossed over. Happy with the report received.

  • Avatar Anne Bagley ★★★★★ a month ago
    We had a very positive experience working with Joe. He helped us assess the value of two properties during an especially stressful time, and his calm, grounded approach made a real difference. What really stood out was his ability to make a complex and unfamiliar process feel approachable — helped along by some genuinely funny and memorable stories from his years … read more in the field. Those moments of humor, paired with thoughtful insights into both the market and our situation, brought much-needed perspective and levity. Professional, knowledgeable, and refreshingly human, I would definitely recommend his services.

    Joe did a thorough appraisal at my home today. He took the time to come out on a Sunday, which was very much appreciated. His sense of humour was an added bonus!! Thanks for coming out and doing an excellent job today!

Why should you use a certified appraiser with a CRA, P.App designation?

Knowing the value of real estate is critical. Reduce your liability and be assured of reliable real estate appraisals by using professional real estate appraisers with designations from the Appraisal Institute of Canada.

INDEPENDENT, OBJECTIVE VALUATION.

The CRA is required to provide a completely objective opinion of value, independent of any other business interests.

SOLID PROFESSIONAL TRAINING.

Institute designations are earned, not awarded, after a rigorous program of educational courses, many of which are university-level.

PROVEN VALUATION EXPERIENCE.

Institute designated members earn their designation after demonstrated, supervised appraisal experience in the market.

CAREER COMMITMENT.

Appraisers with Institute designations are committed to a career in the appraisal profession. It’s not just a sideline.

ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

The Institute has a program of mandatory re-certification of its designations – that means members are current and prepared.

SELF-REGULATION.

There is no legislation in Ontario governing the practice of real estate appraisal. The Appraisal Institute governs its members through a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Practice. It’s a code with teeth – members who do not follow the rules are disciplined up to and including expulsion.

ONGOING PARTNERSHIP WITH LENDERS.

The Appraisal Institute regularly meets with representatives from Canada’s lenders and bodies such as the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation and CMHC to discuss industry concerns.

PUBLIC INTEREST.

The Appraisal Institute is committed to protecting the public interest; that’s why programs such as the Liability Insurance have been developed.

UNIVERSAL ACCEPTABILITY.

Appraisals done by designated Institute members are accepted not only by Canadian lenders but also by judicial and regulatory bodies, for purposes of divorce and arbitration, among others.

A HISTORY OF COMMITMENT.

Appraisal Institute designations represent more than 50 years of commitment to real estate appraisal as a profession.
