David has always had a passion for real estate.
“I have bought, sold and rented properties in the GTA. After years of doing this, I realized I wanted to work within the real estate industry and grow a business at the same time.”
There are many reasons why David finds being an appraiser a rewarding profession.
“One of the most interesting aspects is the constant variety of properties and neighbourhoods you encounter. I also like the blend of analytical and observational skills required in the role. Lastly, meeting different clients and stakeholders, and helping them navigate significant financial decisions, adds a rewarding human element to the job.”
With every appraisal he conducts, David is committed to providing exceptional service. A fitting example of this was a client who was a first-time homebuyer purchasing a newly constructed condo.
“To ensure they felt confident in their investment, I took several extra steps during the appraisal process. First, I communicated with the developer to understand the unique features and upgrades offered in the condo. Next, I conducted a deeper analysis of recent sales in the area, focusing on similar new constructions as well as older properties. Then I provided a summary of the appraisal findings and explained the potential for appreciation in value due to the area’s ongoing development. In the end, my client felt empowered and informed throughout the process, which made their experience much more positive.”
Professionalism is at the foundation of everything David does as an appraiser.
“Being an appraisal professional means providing objective, accurate assessments of property values, which is crucial for all stakeholders. Accurate appraisals help prevent financial losses, ensure fair pricing, and contribute to the overall stability of the real estate market.”
