Whether you require a full narrative appraisal or simply seek advice, our team delivers accurate and timely appraisal services that will help you better understand your property and guide your business decisions accordingly. An appraisal is an estimate of value.

We use DR Coell always. Banks respect their opinion. We are a real estate development company. Appraisers who understand development are scarce. It is essential for my business the appraiser can read plans, knows the upcoming market, and understands our position.
They manage to be fair to both the banks and the developer.
In addition, DR Coell is becoming a rare company. When you call Scott or Liam, THEY CALL BACK! Right away. They are organized and get the work done on time, and they price fairly. What more can you ask?

I have used D.R. Coell a few times now and they will continue to be my "go to" guys. One of our previous appraisals was for a new Self Storage facility and we are happy to report that their forecasted fulfillment time has turned out to be very realistic. On my last I appraisal requirement i was really in a tight time frame pinch and Liam was able to pull off a near miracle. Inspite of the crazy tight time frame the quality was top notch, and the information was very useful in our negotiations on the purchase, a super job. I wish all companies were as great as they are.

I've been working with Liam at D.R. Coell & Associates for a few years now; I always, and I mean always, get thorough explanations of his rationale. He's been easy to reach- and when I have to call the office for bill payments or whatnot, the admin is on top of things. I love this company, and will continue to use them into the future.

Complete frauds! Don’t trust this place. Liam Fast is the epitome of unprofessionalism. Liam conducted an appraisal of our home as we navigate through a divorce. He made numerous mistakes on the appraisal, and failed to actually take the time to fully and thoroughly inspect the house. He also verbatim recounted a conversation I had with him to my spouse who I am in the midst of divorce proceedings with. This place is bad news stay away. They are not ethical.
UPDATE- I have it all recorded... in fact he had my estranged husband hold the tape measure amongst other things when measuring the perimeter

I requested the services of D.R. Coell a couple years ago to provide an appraisal for some clients of mine who were in the process of purchasing a commercial property. It was a very in-depth report which required specific detailed answers for the lender and both my clients and I were very impressed with the results.
Just last month, Liam Fast, provided me with an appraisal for a five unit conversion that I will be building and I was very happy with the detailed report and the realistic numbers. Liam was professional and thorough in his work and our interactions. As a realtor and builder, I would

DR Coell has always been professional and provided great service to my clients over the years. Being a busy realtor in Victoria it's great to have a company you can rely on to provide timely advice and service when needed in tight timelines. Mishelle and Scott are always available to help provide guidance in situations when needed as well. All of the associates work hard and the team is a pleasure to work with.

I chose D.R. Coell as a workplace as it offered me an exciting opportunity as an assistant research analyst. From the first day at the company I have felt welcome and relished the working ethos of a company expanding and growing plus the open hierarchy structure where everyone can come with their thoughts and suggestions. D.R. Coell is a growing company with a well-functioning team, with good development potential as well a real chance to make your mark in your own work tasks and particular field. There's a great work ethic here, with an easy atmosphere and tone. D.R. Coell has a good reputation
