Turner Drake Partners Ltd.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

About Us
For over four decades we have provided real estate consulting services to the business community in Canada.

We started with a simple vision:
(1) be the benchmark by which others are measured, (2) offer clients a unique product whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts. To do so, we have assembled a multi-disciplinary team, with diverse but complimentary skills, created a common training program (built around the University of British Columbia's real estate degree and 27 in-house training modules), nurtured a collegiate culture of working together, developed an industry leading IT system, and implemented an ISO 9001:2015 registered quality control system company-wide. We invest in people; they truly are our greatest asset. From our headquarters in Halifax we now undertake consulting assignments from British Columbia to Newfoundland and all provinces and territories in-between. But in truth, we are still a work in progress there are still mountains to climb and plains to conquer. We are seeking experienced personnel to join us on that journey.

Our Consulting Staff are firmly focused on assisting clients meet their strategic goals, not just their immediate needs.

As a team they provide a smorgasbord of complementary skills, whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

They provide clients with unique, seamless solutions to their real estate problems:

Valuation & Appraisal, Property Tax, Urban and Rural Planning, Economic Intelligence (Geographic Information Systems), Counselling (Infrastructure Acquisition, First Nations' Land Claims, Hydro Electric Projects), Lasercad Space Measurement and Brokerage (Sales & Leasing).


Although we usually train our own Consulting Staff (they join us direct from university and then embark on our seven year training program), we need experienced colleagues to assist us cope with our burgeoning work load.

This is a position in our Property Tax division and will focus on assisting clients with their property tax needs (filing appeals, negotiating with assessors, responding to assessment information requests, etc.).


We promote a corporate culture that is collegiate, invests in our employees' careers, rewards success but believes in a good work-life balance.


  • IT System: this emphasis on supporting our Consulting Staff is reflected too in our multimillion dollar investment in an IT system.
In 1978 we became one of the first real estate companies in Canada to utilise information technology:

CompuVal (our IT platform) was developed by us to meet the challenges posed by working in the most data deprived region of the country.

Its family of intelligent databases talk to each other, analyse data on the fly, and give our Consulting Staff a unique perspective on the real estate markets in Atlantic Canada.

As new technologies, such as satellite and three-dimensional imagery, became available, we incorporated them into CompuVal and our programmers are constantly incorporating enhancements suggested by our Consulting Staff into the system (don't worry, we will train you on the use of this IT system).


  • Trainee Assistance: we provide mentored training for a dozen postgraduate students, paying for their University of British Columbia, Bachelor of Business in Real Estate degree and encouraging them with salary increases as they progress through it, our Training Modules, and our training program. This is a twoway street, our senior Consulting Staff provide the mentored training and benefit from assisting keen young people as they embark on a career while our Trainees help our senior staff on their journey too by providing assistance on their assignments and infusing university fresh knowledge, particularly in IT.
  • Diverse Skills: we flatter ourselves that we occupy a unique place in the real estate service environment: the diverse skills we have assembled (Valuation, Property Tax, Planning, Space Measurement, Land Agency, Geographic Information Systems, Economic Intelligence, Counselling, Brokerage) embrace a common objective that of maximizing our clients' longterm goals. We operate as a team, not in silos of different disciplines, and increase the value of each service we provide to clients, so that both of us benefit.
  • Provincial Offices: our St. John's, Charlottetown, Saint John, and Toronto offices are presently staffed from Halifax but are fully equipped with desks, work stations (tied into our Virtual Private Network) and printers to serve as a base whilst working in those cities. We recently expanded our New Brunswick presence by opening an office in Moncton.

  • Inspecting properties of all types (large and small). Everything from factories to farmland, shelters to shipyards, dairies to dealerships.
  • Collecting and analysing financial statements, rent rolls, budgets, project
