Canada's Dedicated Hospitality Real Estate Appraiser

Frontier Hospitality Advisor exists because fishing lodges, wilderness resorts, RV parks, hotels, and motels are genuinely difficult to appraise — and most commercial appraisers lack the data and direct experience to do it credibly. I built this platform to fill that gap, and every appraisal I complete deepens the private database of hospitality transaction data that makes the next one more accurate.

I hold the AACI designation (Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute) — the highest credential awarded by the Appraisal Institute of Canada — along with the P.App designation. Every appraisal I produce is CUSPAP-compliant and accepted by Canadian chartered banks, credit unions, BDC, courts, and the Canada Revenue Agency. For complex or special-use properties, the AACI is not optional — it is the credential lenders and legal proceedings require.

My two core appraisal service lines are going-concern market value appraisals — valuing the lodge, resort, hotel, or motel as a complete operating business including land, buildings, chattels, licences, and goodwill — and insurance replacement cost appraisals, which establish the defensible insurable value of physical improvements at current material and labour costs. Most hospitality property owners need both. Most do not have either done properly.

Beyond appraisals, Frontier Hospitality Advisor maintains Canada’s only active marketplace purpose-built for hospitality property listings, a vetted network of hospitality-specialized real estate agents, and a market intelligence newsletter reaching 3,200+ qualified buyers, sellers, and investors across North America. Every service on this platform is shaped by the same appraisal discipline — objective, data-driven, and specific to this market.
