Our extensive database, research capabilities and experience in the commercial real estate market have provided the basis for significant success in assessment appeal procedures. We have been involved in appeals on a variety of major properties and have also handled portfolio reviews for our clientele. Our involvement pertains to acting as the agent on behalf of our clients for the most part, although we have also been retained for expert witness purposes.

We also have significant experience in the appraisal of full and partial takings for the purposes of right-of-way acquisition and expropriation, having acted for both expropriating authorities and private property owners throughout British Columbia and Alberta.

We use the latest technology and database management techniques in providing real estate appraisal and consulting services to clients. Many of the custom-designed programs are used by Parkes & Company Ltd. and tailored to clients' needs. In addition, we keep abreast of the latest developments in real estate appraisal and reporting standards and incorporate these changes into our services. In most instances, the information on hand is available upon request to our clients at no cost.
