What is a real estate appraisal?
A real estate appraisal is a professional opinion of the market value of a property at a specific date. It is conducted by a certified appraiser in accordance with the standards of the Ordre des évaluateurs agréés du Québec (OEAQ) and produces an official report usable for any legal, financial or transactional purpose.
In Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec's Agri-Food Technopole, the real estate market is unique: it encompasses a growing residential sector, a dense agricultural fabric, among the most productive in the province, and a specialized industrial park. Each property requires thorough knowledge of the Maskoutains context to be appraised accurately.

Frequently asked questions about real estate appraisal in Saint-Hyacinthe
Why hire a certified appraiser in Saint-Hyacinthe?
An OEAQ certified appraiser is the only professional authorized to issue an official appraisal report in Quebec. Unlike a broker's estimate, their report is recognized by financial institutions, courts and tax authorities. In Saint-Hyacinthe, the diversity of property types (residential, agricultural and industrial) requires deep local expertise.
What is the difference between market value and municipal assessment?
The municipal assessment is used to calculate property taxes and is revised every three years by the City. The market value, established by a certified appraiser, reflects what a buyer would agree to pay today on the open market. In Saint-Hyacinthe, the gap between the two values can be substantial, particularly for agricultural or industrial properties.
In what situations do I need a real estate appraisal?
Buying or selling a property, obtaining or renewing a mortgage, settling an estate or divorce, contesting a municipal assessment, subscribing or renewing insurance (Act 141), expropriation or real estate litigation.
How long does a real estate appraisal take in Saint-Hyacinthe?
The property inspection generally takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on the type and complexity of the property. The full report is usually delivered within 5 to 10 business days following the inspection.
