Real estate researcher and valuation analyst specializing in commercial, residential, and market-data driven appraisals.
What I'm looking for
I am a real estate researcher and valuation analyst with hands-on experience supporting licensed appraisers on fee simple, leasehold, and fractional-interest appraisal assignments across office, retail, industrial, residential and rural property types. I maintain and QA large Valcre databases (5,000+ listings/comparables), conduct market-trend and supply–demand analysis, and leverage tools like CoStar/LoopNet, Colliers/CBRE data, ESRI GIS and Google Earth to produce USPAP-compliant appraisal research and support.
My background includes valuation and right-of-way work for large infrastructure and master-planned projects, team leadership of valuation units, and cross-border remote assignments for US and Ugandan firms. I hold a BSc in Land Economics, a postgraduate diploma in Environmental Impact Assessment, and industry certifications including RICS pathway credentials and MLARR, reflecting my commitment to technical accuracy, stakeholder engagement, and continuous professional development.
