Strategic real estate advisory, valuation, infrastructure, and expropriation consulting — delivering owner-side insight to public and private sector clients across Ontario.
Get in TouchGuo Consulting Inc. is a Toronto-based real estate and infrastructure advisory practice founded by Changming Guo, bringing 18+ years of owner-side experience to complex property challenges.

Beyond valuation, Changming brings a track record of building teams, designing governance frameworks, managing appraisal procurement programs, and coordinating across legal, engineering, and executive stakeholders in politically sensitive infrastructure delivery environments.
