Industrial & Flex
Warehouses, manufacturing and service-commercial facilities, contractor properties, flex buildings and industrial condominiums.
More than a headline value
Clear analysis for important property decisions.
A commercial appraisal should clearly identify what is being valued, for whom, as of when, and how relevant market evidence supports the conclusion.
Peter combines real property valuation expertise with a Chartered Professional Accountant's understanding of financial information. Depending on the assignment, the analysis may consider property rights, lease terms, operating performance, land-use controls, market conditions and highest and best use.
Each engagement begins with clearly defined terms of reference, including the client, authorized users, intended use, effective date, property interest and appropriate scope of work.

Frequently asked questions
Before you request an appraisal.
How much does a commercial appraisal cost?
Fees depend on the property type, complexity, intended use, report requirements, available information and requested timing. A written quote is provided after the assignment details are reviewed.
How long will the appraisal take?
Timing varies by assignment and begins once the engagement is confirmed, required information is received and property access can be arranged. The estimated delivery date is confirmed before work begins.
Will my lender accept the appraisal?
Confirm the lender's appraiser and report requirements before ordering. The lender should be identified as an authorized user where required. No appraiser can guarantee that every lender will accept every report.
Can I give the report to another lender or third party?
Not automatically. An appraisal is prepared for identified clients and authorized users, for a specific intended use. Additional reliance requires prior written review and authorization and may require a new engagement.
How is an appraisal different from a CMA or Broker Opinion of Value?
A CMA or Broker Opinion of Value is brokerage market advice commonly used for listing or transaction planning. A professional appraisal is a formal valuation assignment completed under applicable appraisal standards for identified users and a defined purpose.
Is the appraisal inspection a building inspection?
No. The property inspection gathers information relevant to valuation. It is not a building-condition, environmental, engineering or code-compliance inspection.
What areas do you serve?
Primary coverage includes the Greater Toronto Area and Golden Horseshoe, Simcoe County, Barrie and Orillia, Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough, and select eastern Ontario townships and communities. Availability varies by property type, assignment requirements and timing; submit the address to confirm coverage.
Do you also complete residential appraisals?
Residential appraisal requests are reviewed individually. Include the property address, intended use and required timing in the quote form so Peter can confirm whether the assignment is a fit.
Can Peter act as both broker and appraiser for the same property?
Brokerage and appraisal are separate professional roles. Any potential conflict, prior service or independence concern must be reviewed and appropriately disclosed before an assignment is accepted. An appraisal may be declined where professional obligations could be compromised.
