We appraise Everything from Dirt to Diamonds. East Central Appraisals Group was formed by the thoughtful merger of East Central Appraisals & Consulting Inc and Benchmark Real Estate Appraisals to create a single, stronger partner for valuation and consulting needs across the region. By combining local market knowledge, technical expertise, and a client-first culture, we deliver clear, defensible opinions and practical guidance that help clients move forward with confidence.

Our Story
Both legacy firms earned trust through integrity, accuracy, and service. As client needs grew more complex, leaders from each organization chose to join forces to preserve those strengths while expanding geographic coverage and specialty capabilities. The merger keeps the best of both companies — long-standing local relationships and rigorous appraisal practice — and unites them under the East Central Appraisals Group name.
Mission and Vision
Our mission is to provide objective, timely, and well-documented appraisal opinions that stand up to scrutiny and support sound decision-making. We envision a regional appraisal firm known for professionalism, responsiveness, and measurable value, trusted by lenders, attorneys, developers, investors, and homeowners alike.
Services
We offer a full spectrum of appraisal and consulting services across residential and commercial markets, tailored to each client’s purpose and delivered with transparent methodology and clear conclusions. Core services include residential purchase and refinance appraisals, commercial valuations for retail, office, industrial, and multi-family properties, market and feasibility studies, specialty valuations for unique or agricultural properties, and expert witness testimony.
Estate and Divorce Appraisals
We provide sensitive, defensible valuations for estate settlement and divorce proceedings. Our estate appraisal services support probate, estate tax planning, and fiduciary responsibilities with thorough documentation and market-based conclusions. For divorce matters we deliver impartial valuations of real property, and we also appraise personal property and equipment, including household contents, business assets, farm machinery, and specialty items, so that all assets are fairly and accurately represented in settlement discussions.
Values and Approach
We operate under four guiding principles: Integrity, Accuracy, Service, and Collaboration. Integrity means unbiased opinions supported by documented analysis. Accuracy means rigorous data collection and local market insight. Service means clear communication and timely delivery. Collaboration means leveraging combined expertise to solve complex valuation challenges and deliver better outcomes for clients.
People and Contact
Our team includes certified appraisers, analysts, and client service professionals committed to continuing education and professional standards. We work closely with clients to define scope, gather relevant data, perform thorough inspections and analysis, and deliver reports that are practical and defensible.

Real Estate Appraiser Independence
Real Estate Appraiser independence is a critical element in the real estate appraisal process. This independence is intended to protect the client and intended users of any appraisal report and to further enhance the public trust in the real estate appraisal profession.
Credible real estate appraisals clearly identify the property appraised, the scope of work performed by the real estate appraiser, the client and other intended users, and the intended use of the report. The appraisal report must include the definition of value (e.g., market value), the effective date of value, the subject property’s relevant characteristics, and outline and fulfill any other special instructions from the client or intended user(s).
Our service area encompasses more than 34,000 square kilometers! This region includes the Calgary metropolitan area and nine rural municipalities immediately surrounding the City of Calgary.
