A Closer Look
Parkes & Company is uniquely positioned in the commercial real estate appraisal profession as the company has built its reputation largely on venturing off-the-beaten-path. In the inaugural year of the company, John Parkes decided to pursue appraisal assignments from institutional property owners. These life and pension fund companies are typically involved with properties such as office towers, large industrial projects and regional shopping centers.
The success of the company is largely due to the type of report that Parkes & Company produces. In a word, they are thorough, and are well respected within the lending community. This is also the reason we are the preferred company to appraise unique properties such as: large rural development sites, mini storage complexes, marinas and golf courses.
In the area of assessment appeals John has charted new territory currently having more precedent setting Board decisions in his favour than any other agent in the province. The combination of having a very strong appraisal background and years of experience on how to win appeals at the board level has put him in a unique position within the industry.
Both the appraisal and assessment appeal aspects of the business has placed Parkes & Company in a position where it is well qualified to provide a wide range of consultation services such as: lease negotiations, expert witness testimony, expropriations, market studies and arbitrations.
It is this unique positioning in the market place that has provided the right solutions to the most difficult circumstances faced by those who own or lease real estate of any size.
