Why this reference : Strongest verifiable downtown-serving residential appraiser. Mushtaq Khan is an AIC-designated CRA, P.App (AIC member since 2016), publicly listed on aicanada.ca, with a 5.0-star firm Google profile (59 reviews) and a 2025 Consumer Choice Award (Peel Region). Office in Liberty Village (downtown-west); explicitly markets Toronto incl. the core. Experience scored on the AIC designation tenure (~10 yrs) rather than his 20-yr broader real-estate career, to avoid overstating appraisal tenure.
Why 78/100, and not 100?
