PRACTICE

AREAS

Residential
EXPERT SERVICES

 

We have provided appraisals and valuation services for litigation matters, as well as property assessment appeals.

PROPERTY DIVISION (matrimonial / estates)

We provide an unbiased opinion of value of the property. The valuation date can be current, or a retrospective value can also be prepared if a historical valuation date is required. As always, all valuation services provided are confidential.

EMPLOYEE RELOCATIONS

When employees are transferred to a new location by their employer, the corporation may provide a guaranteed sale price. A relocation appraisal will be required, which provides a comprehensive analysis of what has transpired in the market to date, as well as taking into account the expected market conditions during the prospective marketing period of the property in order to establish an Anticipated Sales Price.

FORECLOSURES / BANKRUPTCIES

We are familiar with the foreclosure and judicial sale procedures in Alberta, and have experience providing appraisals and Affidavits of Value for both Plaintiffs and Defendants.

RESIDENTIAL APPRAISALS

VerraGroup affiliates provide valuation services on a wide range of residential property types, including individual condominium units, townhomes, single family homes, semi-detached homes, duplexes, executive homes, country residential acreages, and leasehold properties, with nearly 20 years experience in the greater Calgary area.

 

Common uses for residential appraisal reports are outlined below:

An appraisal will provide you with the support and documentation you need for calculation of a capital gains exemption.  And when changing the use of a primary residence to a rental property, it is a good practice to have an appraisal completed at that time, rather than having to obtain a retrospective appraisal some time in the future.

Appraisal Review
APPRAISAL REVIEW

An independent and unbiased critical assessment and reasoned opinion as to the acceptability and quality of another appraiser’s work product in the context of part or all of the appraiser’s Scope of Work.  Reviews can range from a basic compliance review to a full, technical review, which is undertaken in accordance with Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP) and includes a review of the reports compliance with the appropriate standard, as well as an opinion of the suitability of the market data employed and the veracity of the conclusions. Further, a technical review will assess the highest and best use analysis, appraisal methodologies in the context of the Scope of Work and has a quality control function.  Technical reviews may or may not include a site view.  Often technical reviews are used for quality control, settlement functions or litigation.

 Learn more about our professional responsibility here.

 The foundation of VerraGroup is our uncompromising conviction-based leadership.  

Our focus is to reach and pivot to a new professional equilibrium in the Canadian Valuation industry

- to ensure that every report has been thoroughly completed with the highest level of professional analysis.  

In-depth Local Knowledge - National Perspective

 We recognize that in-depth local knowledge is essential for provision of accurate and sound valuation analysis and advice, and that such knowledge must be complemented with a broader regional and national perspective.  

To ensure the highest possible level of service to our clientele, Verra Group Valuation is building a national team of highly-motivated professionals having diverse knowledge and experience. 

We Listen Carefully and Strive to Add Value

A valuation report that provides a value, but doesn't go far enough to solve the client's problem or burning need may be useless. We're not in the business of providing you with something you don't need. We  always strive to understand our clients' goals and requirements, and then tailor our services to meet those needs. 

This approach is key to our primary goal of adding value where ever possible.
