"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 have been doing business with HVS for over 20 years. I’m very satisfied with the service. I strongly recommend HVS to anyone." – Kim Tran, President, Sunshine Inn
"HVS was transparent, on time, and provided insights into valuation criteria with great value for service." – Bill Pigden, Canada ICI Capital
"We recently engaged HVS to carry out a valuation exercise for a hotel in Whistler. We found them to be professional, detailed and meticulous. They have a strong research team and network. Their report was of a high standard that met our needs. Their knowledge of the subject matter is excellent and up to date. We have no hesitation to recommend them for any future hotel consultancy and valuation exercise." – James Tan Keen Meng, Raine & Horne International Zaki + Partners Sdn Bhd
