Wieland & Associates Inc. is a real-estate appraisal firm serving Ottawa, Eastern Ontario, and the Gatineau area. This Website provides general information about our firm and services, along with an online form you can use to request an appraisal or ask a question.

Information you submit through the request form (such as your name, contact details, and property details) is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

All content on this Website is provided for general information only. It is not an appraisal, an opinion of value, or professional, valuation, legal, financial, or other advice, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for a formal appraisal or advice from a qualified professional.

Any figures, ranges, examples, or general market commentary that may appear on the Website are illustrative only, are not a formal opinion of value, and may change over time. Property values depend on many factors and on the effective date of a specific appraisal. For more detail, please see our Disclaimer.

Using this Website, contacting us, or submitting the request form does not create an appraiser-client relationship or any other professional relationship between you and Wieland & Associates Inc., and does not obligate us to provide any services.

A formal appraisal is provided only under a separate written engagement that we accept. Our appraisals are prepared by appraisers designated by the Appraisal Institute of Canada (AACI and CRA) and comply with the Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP). No third party may rely on any appraisal report we issue unless we authorize that reliance in writing.

All content on this Website — including text, images, graphics, the Wieland & Associates Inc. name and logo, and the overall design — is owned by Wieland & Associates Inc. or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or resources that we do not control. We provide these links for convenience only. We are not responsible for the content, products, services, or privacy practices of any third-party site, and a link does not imply our endorsement. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

The Website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the Website or its content, including as to accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wieland & Associates Inc. and its directors, officers, employees, and appraisers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website or your reliance on its content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. We do not currently send marketing or promotional emails.
