Improving client experience through meaningful advancements.
Our founding partners, Rock Kouwenberg and Jordan Russell, created the Agrecomm Appraisal Group with a mutual vision of creating advanced analytical data systems and processes that provide reliable insights and conclusions for clients.
Rock and Jordan met at the University of Guelph. Together they successfully gained their Bachelors of Commerce with a specialization in Real Estate and Housing. The undergraduate program is one of the few in Canada that specialize in the real estate sector, taking a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of residential and commercial real estates. As a result, they gained unique perspectives on real estate and valuations trends that assist in serving their clients in the most efficient manner possible.
Both Rock and Jordan furthered their education and went on to complete a Post-Graduate Certificate in Real Property Valuation (PGCV) at the University of British Columbia, Sauder School of Business. After years of mentorship, the successful completion of the AACI program of studies and fulfilling the professional requirements of the Appraisal Institute of Canada, both are now designated AACI members. AACI Members are qualified to offer valuation and consulting services and expertise for all types of real property.
Rock and Jordan consistently instil a high commitment to business ethics and personal integrity in their team of appraisers and qualified supporting staff. As a result, the Agrecomm Appraisal Group maintains its enviable reputation of complete research and accurate analysis in order to provide sound, market based appraisals which aid in both litigation and personal decisions involving agricultural, commercial, industrial and residential properties throughout Southwestern Ontario.
