Dale Wall
Rest in Peace
Sadly, Dale passed away on 16th June 2019. Leader, mentor and friend of many, he will be remembered long after his passing.
Dale was an extremely well-regarded Valuer, active mostly in the industrial and commercial sectors of the Wellington market. He was held in very high esteem by his peers, for his depth of understanding in valuation. His knowledge of the Wellington Regional industrial market was outstanding.
Over the years, Dale was involved in many significant arbitrations and mediation proceedings, and will be thoroughly missed amongst valuation and property circles generally in Wellington.
A tireless, unselfish and highly respected member of our team, who is deeply missed.
Rest in Peace Dale.
