Property appraisal

expert witness

Our qualified appraisers will appear at the examination stage, in court, or at a quasi-judicial proceeding to provide evidence in all matters affecting real estate.  

Our team has the required training and expertise to be viewed as experts in matters of property valuation in the eyes of the law.

Property disputes related to expropriation, insurance, financing, land claims, partnerships, easements, and parkland dedication can all result in litigation or arbitration being a necessary step.

We provide independent, impartial and unbiased evidence to the court or tribunal. We help counsel and clients with proper scoping of the dispute, provide industry-leading research, identify and analyze relevant strategies and damages theories, and provide proven case preparation. Completing an appraisal that will stand up in court is typically just the beginning. You need an expert witness appraiser who can withstand grueling depositions from opposing council.

Our Montreal based appraisers have worked jointly with many law firms providing expert technical advice, comprehensive appraisals, or testimony before the courts, boards, arbitrations or regulatory tribunals with respect to real property matters that resulted to favorable decisions.
