EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Episode 85: Matt and Taylor are joined by Derek Funk, B.A. CRA, P. App.. Derek is the Managing Partner at Lawrenson Walker Appraisers Okanagan from Kelowna, BC, with a background in real estate sales as well as construction. Founded in 1992, Lawrenson Walker Appraisers are leaders in the field of residential real estate appraisal and consulting, and currently serve locations in Alberta and BC.
Derek is here to discuss:
→ Bringing Lawrenson Walker to the Okanagan and becoming local experts, the benefits of an appraiser being approved by many lenders, and navigating tight timelines with clear communication and customer service.
→ Transparency, or lack thereof, in appraisal fee structures, appraisals vs assessments, and GST on new builds.
→ The best and worst things you can do that impact your house value, the cost-hinderance of new builds, adding value with suites, and the current difference in a pre-sale vs a finished developments value.
→ Current issues with legal files & up-zoning, the effects of the STR legislation, and what's in store for the 2025 market.
