01

Individual Merit

No single equation or formula is adequate to measure the individual qualities of equipment. Each situation is approached with an appreciation for its uniqueness, to be judged on its own merits.

02

Informed Judgment

The process of appraisal relies heavily on individual judgment; Aestimo Services Ltd. is committed to obtaining all the concrete facts available to make that judgment as precise as possible. Supporting data is gathered, details are checked and verified, and then all the facts are weighted to provide supportable appraisals.

03

Excellence Defined

The commitment to excellence sets Aestimo Services Ltd. apart from the ordinary. The factors that make one appraisal better or more accurate than another include the research and documentation upon which the appraiser exercises his judgment, his experience in weighing the facts, and his devotion to accurate details.

Up against a regulatory deadline, Gord and his team acted fast and efficiently, but with great care to the final result. They delivered a highly accurate appraisal and remained available as needed should any follow-up requests arise. We met Aestimo by accident but our ongoing, multi-year relationship with them is deliberate. They have become our first call in asset valuation. They are professional, diligent in their work and fair in their assessment and read of the marketplace. Aestimo is our true partner during our audit and corporate strategy processes. No matter where the equipment resides, they are quick on their feet to ensure a complete appraisal that stands the test of the most rigid scrutiny.
