Local professional appraiser (P.App) Steve Blacklock, of Jackson & Associates Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants, has been named president of the provincial body that designates and governs appraisers in B.C.

In October, the British Columbia Association of the Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC-BC) elected Blacklock to a one-year term at the head of the organization. The move recognizes his expertise in commercial real estate appraisals and his dedication to both his community and his professional organization.

“We’re incredibly proud of Steve, although none of us is surprised he was elected president,” says Dan Wilson, owner of Jackson & Associates and himself a former president of the Appraisal Institute of Canada. “He’s sat on the board of the AIC-BC for the last six years, and over that time he’s more than proven his value to the organization. He’s a real asset and I feel fortunate to have him on our team.”

Blacklock worked for six years with B.C. Assessment before completing a post-graduate certificate in real property valuation and joining Jackson & Associates in 2006. Last year, he was recognized as one of the Comox Valley’s “Top 40 Under 40” and is considered a specialist in project valuation, with particular expertise in the Powell River and Sunshine Coast areas.

“There are a lot of highly qualified and respected professionals in the AIC-BC who are committed to the highest level of competency,” says Blacklock. “I’ve truly enjoyed being involved at the board level, and I consider it an honour to be elected president.

“My role with the AIC-BC has greatly expanded my circle of peers, which benefits the work I do every day,” he adds. “From exchanging ideas and methods of valuation to just talking through common problems, I’ve become a better appraiser because of it.”

Jackson & Associates provides valuation and consulting services in both the commercial and residential real estate sectors throughout central Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. To learn more, call 250-338-7323 or visit www.comoxvalleyappraisers.com.
