History

CUNNINGHAM & RIVARD APPRAISALS LTD. was opened in 1967 in North Vancouver under the ownership of Fred Cunningham and Larry Rivard. In 1973, the company was purchased by Warnock Hearsey Professional Services Ltd. with Fred Cunningham remaining as Regional Manager and Larry Rivard retiring. The company grew and opened branch offices, primarily on Vancouver Island.

Upon the retirement of Fred Cunningham in 1978, the various offices he had established were offered for sale to the employees. The employees in North Vancouver purchased their office and the Branch Managers of the Island offices purchased theirs. All offices retain an association for the purposes of defining geographical areas of business, maintaining professional standards, generating referrals and sharing of specialists in their areas of expertise.

Allan Brown joined the company in 1980 and became a partner in 1986. David Kirk started with the company in 1992 and became a partner in 1993, and Doyle Childs joined the company in 2002, becoming a partner in 2003.

The CUNNINGHAM & RIVARD APPRAISALS group is one of the largest in British Columbia that offers a full range of real estate appraisals and related services to the financial community.
