We were honored to host Haim Mesilaty, a distinguished member of the International Valuation Standards Council’s MSRB and former Chair of the Israel Real Estate Appraisers Association, whose extensive expertise in global valuation standards and law continues to shape the industry.
The visit focused on open discussions surrounding International Valuation Standards (IVS), valuation methodologies, and emerging trends shaping the real estate appraisal profession across different markets. It served as a valuable opportunity for both sides to reflect on how valuation practice continues to evolve in response to increasing demands for transparency, consistency, and professional rigor in an interconnected global environment.
Welcomed by Aviso’s leadership team, led by President Roque Sorioso Jr., alongside Chief Marketing Officer Angelo Gandia, Chief Valuation Officer Rafael J. Cenzon, and Senior Valuation Manager Ramon Figuracion, the discussion naturally gravitated toward the shared language of valuation methodology, consistency, and credibility.
A key highlight of the visit was Mr. Mesilaty’s interaction with the valuation team where he shared practical insights and professional guidance drawn from his extensive experience in both real estate appraisal practice and legal work. Haim Mesilaty also graciously spent time reviewing Aviso’s report format and providing valuable pointers to the company’s appraisers, offering constructive insights aimed at further strengthening the quality and consistency of valuation reporting. A particularly meaningful moment unfolded as he reviewed Aviso’s valuation outputs and engaged directly with the team, offering international perspectives and hands-on insights that bridged theory and practice. For the valuers present, it was a rare opportunity to engage with a global thought leader in an intimate setting where standards were discussed not as abstract principles but as living frameworks shaping real-world decisions.
Beyond the technical dialogue, the visit underscored something more enduring: the importance of cross-border collaboration in strengthening the valuation profession. In a time when markets are increasingly interconnected, shared understanding becomes not just valuable, but essential.
The exchange served as a meaningful knowledge-sharing session that strengthened professional connections between Aviso and IVSC, reinforcing a shared commitment to quality, integrity, and excellence in the field of valuation.
