Ottawa Estate Appraisers naturally evolved as a subsidiary of Michael Spooner and Son Estate Auctioneers, a local Ottawa business since 1980 and still a leader in its field today.

Our background and expertise in the Canadian and International Auction Industry as well as owners of Widdicombs of Westboro, a high end antique furniture store, for over thirty years has enabled us to maintain an accurate assessment of the ever-changing market place.

The company has been a family run multi-divisional business for over forty years and is now under the leadership of Shawn Spooner who has participated in company operations since the age of nine.
