Thank you for visiting my web site. I am a
real estate appraiser accredited by the Appraisal Institute of Canada. (Credentials) As an appraiser since June of 1990, (accredited August 2001) I can confidently appraise most forms of real estate. I
serve the following areas: Barrie and Simcoe County, Muskoka, and Parry
Sound and to a limited degree:
Bruce County, Georgian Bay, York Region and Haliburton.
What Constitutes a "Good Appraisal" ?- Real Estate Appraisals are
opinions - the analysis of real estate value should be based on a combination of
elements but most commonly comparable sales and listings. An appraiser should
examine the common elements between the subject property and the comparables and
make value adjustments for differences. The result should be a reconciled
opinion of value based on the facts available. A clients' concerns regarding
value issues should be addressed, but may not affect the value conclusion.
Appraisal assignments are not taken on the basis of providing a predetermined
value estimate. I do not consider the value estimate to have any
bearing on whether an appraisal is "good" or "bad".
Real Estate Appraisal Services
Real Estate Appraisals can be performed for various uses (function) and can
consider various "types of value" (purpose). I perform appraisals for various
effective dates.
Appraisals are conducted following the Standard Rules of Appraisal Practice
as set by the Appraisal Institute of Canada.

 | Litigation Appraisals used as a court ready document.
 | This is the most intensive appraisal I provide. I usually inspect all
the comparable sales, when possible, and always confirm them with the
registry office. I often conduct interviews with the parties involved in the
transaction. These appraisals are most often used to help resolve a Marital
dispute. I write these reports in "layman's" terms so that a Judge and the
litigants can clearly understand the reasoning behind my value estimate.
This allows the participants to be more reasonable with respect to valuation
issues and more likely to reach a settlement. |
|
| Mediation Appraisals used to resolve a dispute.
| These appraisals are used when participants are relatively convinced of
a range of value but need guidance concerning various factors and how they
affect value. I'm often called in as the third appraiser in this
circumstance to help analyze the other appraisals and provide a
comprehensive analysis of the disputed factor(s) and their relationship to
the total market value.
Such factors, from a residential point of view, could be items such as a
pool, new addition, over-improvement, functional obsolescence, super
adequacy, etc. From an ICI point of view these factors could include a more
in-depth analysis of "supply and demand factors", functional obsolescence,
locational obsolescence, and "value in use" versus "value in exchange"
concerns. |
|
| Information Appraisals for various uses.
| At times clients are interested in the "market value" of their property
for various reasons ranging from tax related issues, to re-location
appraisals relating to the sale of the property, to the potential sale to a
family member or friend, or just a private deal. I can provide appraisals that provide the minimal
requirements by the AIC (Appraisal Institute of Canada) to extremely
comprehensive appraisals that may involve various assumptions that have been
requested by the client. |
|
| Mortgage Appraisals for the placement of financing.
| These appraisals are performed for the "educated" lender who has a full
understanding of the appraisal process and the methods employed. As such,
these appraisals are often meet the minimum requirements from a residential point of view and are
prepared on a form. For ICI properties, I generally perform "Short Narrative" appraisals that provide accurate results with minimal
quantification for adjustments or "Full Narrative" which may be required for
litigation purposes. "Short Narrative" reports are more cost effective for
the client. |
|
| Consulting Services
| I consult on development scenarios, "highest and best use" analysis,
historical and speculative investment analysis, trend analysis, etc. |
|
| Expert Witness testimony
| I've appeared as an expert witness and I am prepared to do this again if
required. |

Products
In addition to Real Estate Appraisals I provide various products that can be
used by the client during their own investigations into various forms of
property.
