What is the purpose of a real estate appraisal?

A real estate appraisal is a document that can be used:

• to clarify a situation by way of an expert and independent professional opinion,
• to convince an opposing party (in the case of a dispute) or to influence the decision of a third party, a judge, a banker
• or more commonly, simply to inform and convince

Many people dream to be home owners. But the purchase of real estate property is a long-lasting and costly commitment that requires you to make informed decisions. Is the acquisition you are considering a good deal? Cracks, infiltration, is my home in danger? An independent real estate consultation is essential to clarify and secure your choices. It can also be useful to convince an opposing party with whom you are in dispute, or to influence the decision of a third party, such as a judge (in proceedings), a bank (for a loan), a notary (for an inheritance) or a tax inspector (during a tax adjustment), etc.

Real estate consultation: clarifying and securing your decisions

Breach of faith, fraud, abusive filing for bankruptcy, defective work, nonconforming work, anomalies, damage, etc. Individuals are easy targets for some unscrupulous professionals (developers, builders and even lead contractors) who sometimes do not hesitate to profit from an individual’s lack of knowledge in real estate and/or a difficult transition period (financial urgency, difficult family situation, notice already given for a lodging). Our consultations are the only way to avoid certain traps that can be laid during a sale, a purchase, construction or renovation for example.

Real estate consultation: negotiating with an opposing party

An individual has to have pretty solid shoulders to deal with a real estate professional. The psychological pressure is sometimes very intense and threats are frequent, making some situations difficult to confront. Our real estate experts give individuals effective weapons to defend themselves. Once the playing field is leveled, it is much easier to deal with an opposing party.

Real estate consultation: certifying the facts, providing evidence

The consultation can also serve to influence the decision taken by a third party, for example a banker when applying for a loan, a tax inspector during a tax adjustment, a judge during proceedings, a notary for an inheritance, a lawyer during a divorce, etc. Our consultations are formalized in a report, are recognized and can serve as certification.
