Property Valuer

A property valuer is a professional that provides a service to value almost every transaction of property – industrial, commercial, retail, office, rural, and residential.  These require a valuation to be conducted.  Property valuers are the unbiased source of truth when it comes to determining how much a property and its assets are actually worth.  A property valuer follows a specific valuation methodology, holds relevant certifications, and academic professional qualifications.
