Philip became a professional appraiser in 2004. In 2015, he received his DAR designation with CNAREA, and in 2016 formed Appraisal Advantage Canada Incorporated with two partners. He provides his services in the City of Toronto.
“A career in real estate appraising was most appealing to me because I have always been fascinated by the analytics of the industry.”
There are many reasons why Philip finds real estate appraising a rewarding career.
“The work is challenging, offers diverse opportunities, requires you to stay up to date with the analytics of the profession and there is always something new to learn.”
With every assignment Philip undertakes he is dedicated to providing the highest quality product and service that he can.
“I always do my best to ensure my work is credible, accurate, and completed in a timely manner. My strength is interacting with people. Taking the time to listen to clients, being flexible and understanding their needs are top priorities for me.”
Professionalism is at the heart of everything that Philip does.
“To me, being professional is all about how you conduct and represent both yourself and your affiliates. It’s also about being accountable, honest, and diligent with your work so that you can do your best to surpass your clients’ expectations.”
In the market that Philip serves, there’s a new development of note.
“East Harbour, located on a 60-acre site directly east of Toronto’s downtown core is one of the largest commercial projects currently planned in Canada. Its aim is to transform a large industrial site into a dynamic mixed-use community.”
While development is happening throughout Toronto, prices in the City have retreated vs. this time last year.
“The Median Home Price for All Home Types in the City of Toronto in January 2024 was: $750,000 vs. $797,500 in January 2023. However, sales in January were up from 1,108 in 2023 to 1,472 in 2024, and Active Listings were up from 3,880 to 4,540.”
