ABOUT US
CivicMJD was established in 2017 and brings together two of Australia’s most respected valuation and property consultancies, Civic Valuations Pty Ltd and MJ Davis Realty Appraisals Pty Ltd.
Together, our businesses have a combined history that stretches back more than 75 years. The combined strength of our experience brings a new level of support and expertise to the valuation industry.
Civic MJD Australia (formerly Oceanic Property Valuations) commenced as a national property valuation company which operates across Australasia and comprises multi-skilled property valuers and professionals with extensive senior property valuation and consulting experience, which specialises in offering independent and impartial property advice to a private, corporate and government client base in a co-ordinated property valuation service across Australasia.
Civic MJD Australia is not a subsidiary of any firms that have their primary interests in real estate sales and leasing. Accordingly, our clients’ interests always come first. The primary focus of Civic MJD Australia is to provide a national business collective that serves the Australian marketplace and to market Civic MJD Australia as a leading group of independent valuation practices in Australia to existing and prospective clients.
