Our Staff

Jim began appraising real estate in 1978, beginning as an in-house appraiser and mortgage officer for a major trust company. Prior to starting Wallace Appraisal Services in 1993, he was employed with a local appraisal firm for 13 years. He gained a wide range of experience valuing all forms of residential property and also appraised a variety of commercial and industrial properties and vacant land. Consulting work involved appraisal and real estate arbitrations, and Jim was an expert witness in court. After 42 years, Jim will continue with the management of the company but will no longer be completing appraisals and will continue work with the Calgary Assessment Review Board.
