At Avison Young Canada, our best-in-class technology speeds up the process while our personalized and responsive service walks you through every step. It’s an appraisal process that provides true value.
How do you determine the value of a commercial property?
This is a process that involves both physical inspection, data collection, financial and legal analysis. At Avison Young, our process involves:
- Sending an expert appraiser to the property to conduct an inspection
- Analyzing the subject property and other financial documentation
- Modelling a cash flow or stabilized operating statement
- Evaluating daily market data to establish more accurate comparisons and projections
How accurate and reliable are commercial real estate appraisals?
Very accurate, and made more accurate with the incorporation of current market data. Our accredited professionals deliver accurate and current market data with a quick turnaround time, allowing you to execute other business demands.
What makes one commercial property appraisal better than another?
Apprasial reports might seem similar, but the process and reliability will be different. Some of the key distinguishing factors include:
- Speed. How quickly will your report get into the hands of the people requesting it? Your mortgage approval can hinge on this. Our appraisal teams are comfortable with quick turnarounds and tight timelines.
- Reliability. Does your appraiser have a positive reputation with your banker? If you have an appraisal team that major banking institutions rely on, that can speed up the approval process.
- Services. This is a relationship business. Is your property advisor responsive, flexible, and there for you? Creating a true partnership makes a big difference.
- Technology. The otherwise paperwork-heavy process is sped up by our use of technology. We streamline the appraisal process to alleviate the back-and-forth and simplify the process for you.

British Columbia Multi-Family Investment Report (Fall 2021)Unprecedented demand for BC multi-family assets in the first six months of 2021 led to an astonishing 78 sales valued at more than $1.9B – obliterating the previous annual record of 85 sales valued at $1.51B set in 2018. The previous multifamily sales record for a half-year period was 54 sales valued at $1.04B achieved in the back half of 2015. There is no historical comparison for the deal and dollar volume generated by investors’ appetite for BC multifamily assets in the first half of 2021. Sales of multi-family assets in just the first half of 2021 almost surpassed the entire annual BC investment total for all industrial, retail and office assets sold in 2014 ($1.95B). (Avison Young only tracks multi-family sales trading at more than $5M).October 27, 2021
