Property Tax Consulting
We provide property tax assessment audits, ongoing property tax assessment management and identification of errors in the application of property assessment policy and procedure. We will carry through with negotiation, case preparation and presentation at all stages of assessment appeal hearings, if necessary. With the proper research and presentation, many adjustments can be procured without ever proceeding to the assessment appeal hearing stage.
In addition to being an accredited appraiser, Mark Dean, AACI has more than 17 years experience with Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) in all aspects of property tax assessment including detailed market analysis and development of land and building assessment models.
Consider outsourcing your property tax function to ensure you are not paying too much.
Pre-Listing and Pre-Sale Appraisals
An objective and independent appraisal provides vendors, purchasers and realtors with real estate value certainty. Everyone involved can have peace of mind going into a real estate transaction, that fair market value has been established by an appraiser who is accredited with the Appraisal Institute of Canada.
Mortgage Financing
Obtaining a loan to assist your real estate purchase or renovation requires your financial partner to make lending decisions. The value of the real estate has an important role in whether or not the loan can be approved, the terms of approval and the pricing. An informed decision to obtain an appraisal report from an appraiser accredited by the Appraisal Institute of Canad helps both parties work together by bringing certainty to the property value.
Estate Appraisals
In Saskatchewan, the courts rely on an an accredited appraiser to assist in making the important decisions needed to settle the estate. We have completed many of these assignments for both individuals and law firms.
Family Law
Our professional appraisal reports have been used in both collaborative and contentious situations to the clients with unbiased opinion(s) of value. Mark Dean, AACI has been qualified as an expert witness by the Saskatchewan Court of Queen’s Bench regarding agricultural real estate valuation.
Replacement Cost Estimates
Knowing that the office complex or warehouse site is not over-insured or under-insured helps establish accurate and cost effective insurance levels. Properly detailing the cost estimate for such commercial enterprises requires the skill of a trained AACI who has the leading and most updated costing software needed to get it right.
Expropriation
An owner is entitled to compensation when private property is acquired for public purposes. Calculation of due compensation for the purposes of expropriation is very different from a routine appraisal. Whole Takings, Partial Takings and Injurious Affection, all require the expertise of a trained AACI to provide an informed calculation of due compensation, as outlined in applicable legislation and supported by case law. Mark Dean, AACI is a member of the International Right of Way Association (www.irwaonline.org), has been trained in the valuation of partial takings, and has completed valuations for many expropriation related files.
