D.R. Coell & Associates is commemorating a major milestone in 2024 with the real estate appraisal and consulting firm’s 50th anniversary of helping clients make the most of their property assets, according to a post on the Times Colonist.

With five decades of experience in property valuation and consulting services, D.R. Coell & Associates marks this achievement with exciting new developments and opportunities.

Founded by David Coell in 1974, D.R. Coell & Associates was established to assist clients in the private and public sectors with commercial and residential valuation requirements. Whether clients require a full appraisal or are seeking advice, the firm delivers appraisal services that help clients better understand their property assets and guide their decisions accordingly.

Strong local demand was met with an increasing supply of knowledgeable appraisers, including Rick Gordon, Mike Martyn, and Jack Miller. As the company’s ownership increased, the new leadership encouraged geographic expansion and diversification in asset classes, including insurance appraisals, property tax appeals, and depreciation reports, the article stated.

Guided by principal partners Scott Humphreys and Mishelle Martin, the recent addition of three senior appraisers, Rick Howard, Liam Fast and Alanna Gagliani, along with the firm’s nine candidate members and administration, completes the team.

From advanced data analytics to state-of-the-art valuation models, their commitment to technological innovation ensures that clients receive unparalleled service.
