Our Services

VALOPINE provides independent residential real estate appraisal services throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Our appraisal reports are prepared in accordance with the Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP) and are suitable for legal, lending, tax, and financial purposes.

We regularly work with lawyers, lenders, accountants, and private clients who require reliable and well-supported property valuations.

Divorce and Family Law Matters

Real estate appraisals are often required in divorce and separation cases to determine the fair market value of a matrimonial home. In many situations, the relevant valuation date may be the separation date rather than the current date.

Our appraisal services for family law matters may include:

  • Matrimonial home valuation
  • Separation date valuation
  • Retrospective appraisals
  • Valuations for mediation or litigation

We provide clear and well-documented appraisal reports that can assist lawyers and their clients in resolving property-related issues.

Estate and Probate Valuations

Estate administration frequently requires determining the value of real estate as of a specific date, such as the date of death. Accurate valuation is important for probate, estate settlement, and tax reporting.

Our estate appraisal services may include:

  • Date-of-death valuations
  • Estate settlement appraisals
  • Probate reporting support
  • Fair market value analysis for estate purposes

We work with estate lawyers, executors, and accountants to provide reliable valuation reports.

Retrospective (Historical) Appraisals

A retrospective appraisal determines the fair market value of a property as of a past date. These assignments require detailed research of historical market data and comparable sales from the relevant time period.

Retrospective valuations are commonly required for:

  • Divorce and separation matters
  • Estate and probate files
  • Capital gains calculations
  • CRA reporting
  • Legal disputes involving property value

Our reports provide well-supported analysis based on market conditions that existed on the specified valuation date.

Mortgage Financing and Private Lending

Lenders require independent property valuations to support mortgage financing, refinancing, and private lending transactions. Reliable appraisal reports help lenders assess collateral risk and make informed decisions.

We provide appraisal services for:

  • Mortgage financing
  • Mortgage refinancing
  • Private lending transactions
  • Bridge loans
  • Portfolio valuation

We work with banks, credit unions, mortgage brokers, and private lenders throughout the GTA.

Capital Gains and CRA Reporting

Accurate real estate valuation is often required for tax reporting and financial planning. Accountants and tax professionals may need an appraisal to establish fair market value for a specific date.

Our appraisal services for tax and financial matters may include:

  • Capital gains valuation
  • Retrospective appraisals for tax purposes
  • CRA reporting support
  • Valuations for estate planning

We provide clear, well-documented appraisal reports that can assist accountants and tax advisors in supporting their clients.
