Rickard Realty Advisors Inc. reviews and appeals both
business and property tax assessments. This has been
our mainstay since the company began in Calgary, Alberta
in 1983. Our mission is, for a professional fee, to
pursue fairness and equity in municipal taxation. After
years of assessment reviews and thousands of appeals
our expertise in western Canada is amongst the best.
Our team of dedicated technical and professional people
are highly experienced in sourcing the causes of the
inaccuracies and presenting the information which results
in favourable amendments being made.
Rickard Realty Advisors Inc. has increasingly been
called upon in the area of dispute resolution for real
estate related matters. At present it represents about
one third of the firm’s services. This is due
in part to the literally thousands of tribunal appearances
associated with property tax assessment reviews but
also to our work in the area of real estate consulting
/ litigation support. The most compelling force however
has been the interest of the firm’s president
in resolving disputes without the need to go to Court.
Arbitrations and mediations are alternative ways for
people with a dispute to solve it without going to court.
We are experienced professionals with specialized training
in resolving disputes. We abide by the codes of conduct
for the Alberta Arbitration & Mediation Society.
We can guide a client to arrive at their own solution
(mediation) or if preferred, we can decide the matters
in dispute for you (arbitration).
Rickard Realty Advisors Inc. was formulated as an appraisal
firm specializing in property tax reviews and general
valuations, in 1983. Since then real estate consulting
has taken on increasing significance. The following
case studies indicate the range of our interest in unique
consulting assignments.
