Testimonials

"We own and operate a boutique hotel and were looking for technical analysis of market value and potential value added based on a number of market scenarios. HVS brought a top-quality team to assist with market condition and future analysis and benefits to value and income based on different ideas. We were very happy with the knowledge and support the HVS team brought." – Doug Gilday, Raven Inn & Suites Whitehorse

"We were very satisfied with the work that HVS has done for us. They delivered a thorough analysis in a timely manner." – Andrew Jakubiz, Ridge North America

"We engaged HVS to do a valuation for us of a proposed new Resort Hotel and Marina in Gibsons, BC. We found them to be extremely professional and transparent in their work, and the report they provided at the end of the assignment was succinct, yet very detailed and comprehensive. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services, and we may be contacted as a reference point." – Mike Levitt, Klaus Fuerniss Enterprises Inc.

"I would highly recommend using the services of HVS as they produce a report of the highest quality. Their team is most professional with a depth of knowledge that allows them to provide high-level recommendations that are backed up by detailed research. Their integrity is without reproach, and it is a pleasure working with HVS." – Mike Levitt, The George Gibsons Development Ltd.

"It is always a pleasure to use HVS on the various assignments that I'm involved in. Their methodology and openness to 'think outside the box' is appreciated and makes the briefing and deliverable process more timely and comprehensive. I was asked good questions of clarification, in order to generate the most accurate potential scenarios." – Stephen Darling, Stephen Darling Hospitality Consulting

"HVS was transparent, on time, and provided insights into valuation criteria with great value for service." – Bill Pigden, Canada ICI Capital
