Real estate appraisal
in Trois-Rivières:
what you need to know.
The real estate market in Trois-Rivières and Mauricie is evolving rapidly. To make informed decisions (buying, selling, financing or settling an estate), you need an objective value opinion produced by a certified appraiser who is a member of the Ordre des évaluateurs agréés du Québec.
Market value vs. municipal assessment:
a distinction that matters.
The municipal assessment of a property is set by the City for calculating property taxes and is revised every three years. Market value, on the other hand, reflects what a buyer would agree to pay today on the open market. In the rapidly transforming sectors of Trois-Rivières, this gap can be substantial.
Only an OEAQ certified appraiser can produce an official market value report recognized by financial institutions, courts and tax authorities. We serve Trois-Rivières, Shawinigan, Louiseville, Bécancour and throughout the Mauricie region.
