In additional to our commercial division, AREAS residential appraisers cover an area extending from Mississauga to Cambridge, Hamilton and the Niagara Peninsula, as well as Sault Ste. Marie and the Algoma District.
Our philosophy of spending the additional time necessary to explain in detail the factors influencing value is how we differentiate ourselves from other appraisal firms. With respect to commercial valuations, our approach is from an investor’s perspective, not a retrospective analysis based on historical valuations. AREAS commercial covers Ontario with specific emphasis on the Golden Horseshoe and Sault Ste. Marie area.
