We work with local homeowners and with multifaceted business professionals, including successful lenders, mortgage brokers, lawyers, accountants, REALTORs®, estate planners, home owners, project managers and builders.

Our Team of Real Estate & Home Appraisers
Louise McGee
Palmer Appraisals Ltd. is a residential real estate appraisal firm owned and operated by Louise McGee. With 27 years experience, Louise has her DAR (Designated Residential Appraiser) and Certified Appraisal Reviewer Designations from the Canadian National Association of Real Estate Appraisers (CNAREA).
As an inquisitive teenager, Louise would spend her afternoons and weekends following her father throughout Victoria and the surrounding area as he measured (with a tape no less!) and photographed people’s homes. Later, she would listen to him explain his appraising process in detail as he prepared a report for an anxious client. Falling in love with the sense of pride in a job well done, providing excellent customer service, and the heartfelt feeling of community, Louise not only followed in her father’s footsteps, she bought the family business from him when he was ready to retire 22 years ago.
As one of only a handful of female appraisers on Vancouver Island, and even fewer boutique appraisal firm owners, Louise has continued to grow Palmer Appraisals and works diligently to encourage women within the industry to excel.
A long-standing member of the Victoria community, Louise, her husband and two daughters still find time to enjoy much of the “Island lifestyle” that the area is famous for.

Jennifer has been a strong addition to the Palmer Team since 2014. A REALTOR® for 15 years, Jennifer has owned 3 businesses, has degrees from Trent University in Sociology with a minor in Business, and spent a year at the University of Victoria honing her marketing skills.
