Independent appraisals
When expectations differ, an independent appraisal helps
Our pro forma shows a property the way buyers and lenders will look at it. Sometimes a seller's expectations are different, and that's understandable. Our goal is to help you, not to argue about value.
When expectations and the pro forma don't line up, we recommend an independent appraisal by an accredited appraiser. An appraisal gives you an unbiased, third-party opinion of value, and it gives everyone involved the same set of facts to work from before the property goes to market.
It is especially valuable when more than one person makes the decision. For companies, non-profits and organizations with an executive team and a board of directors, we highly recommend it as the best way to build consensus among the decision makers.
When we recommend an appraisal
- Your price expectations differ from the pro forma
- There is more than one owner, partner or family member involved
- A board, executive team or committee must approve the sale
- Non-profits, charities and organizations that need an independent valuation on record
- Estates and any situation where an unbiased, defensible value protects everyone

Commercial Real Estate in Ottawa FAQs
When should I hire a commercial real estate broker?
Bring in a broker before you start searching, listing or negotiating. A commercial broker knows the market, the comparables and the deal terms, gives you access to the full range of opportunities, including new construction, and protects you in negotiations, which usually saves time and money.
Does "as is" really mean "as is"?
Generally, yes: the seller makes no promises about the condition of the property. That makes your own due diligence essential, including building inspections, environmental reviews, zoning checks and a review of leases and financials.
What should I ask about a location?
Ask about zoning and permitted uses, access and visibility, parking, nearby businesses and customers, transit, future development in the area and the total cost of occupancy, not just the rent or price.
Do you provide commercial real estate services outside Ottawa?
Yes. Along with the city of Ottawa, we serve Arnprior, Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, Smiths Falls, Renfrew, Pembroke, Kemptville, Merrickville, Brockville, Prescott, Rockland, Embrun, Russell, Casselman, Hawkesbury and Alexandria and other communities in Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley. Every property gets the same inbound and outbound marketing, including our 6,000+ subscriber newsletter. Custom campaigns can be added when a property calls for them.
Should I get an appraisal before selling my property?
We recommend an independent appraisal when your expectations don’t line up with our pro forma, and whenever more than one person makes the decision. For companies, non-profits and organizations with an executive team and board of directors, an appraisal provides an unbiased, third-party value that helps build consensus among the decision makers. Our goal is to help, not to argue about value.
Should I lease or buy commercial property?
Buying builds equity and gives you control and stable costs, but requires capital. Leasing keeps cash free and gives flexibility. We compare both on real numbers for your situation.
Do you represent tenants and buyers, or only landlords and sellers?
Both. We represent tenants and buyers looking for space or investment property, and landlords and sellers leasing or selling commercial real estate. We always confirm who we represent in writing.
How do you market a commercial property?
Beyond MLS, LoopNet and Spacelist, we promote every opportunity to our 6,000+ subscriber commercial real estate newsletter, match buyers and tenants with the right property, and broker the deal. Custom campaigns can be added when a property calls for them.
