Meet CJ Valuers, a wholly-owned national valuation company led by a woman entrepreneur and based at 8-Mile in the National Capital District.
After 10 years of operation as a business, Janet Yagur has decided to come out with her story.
Ms Yagur was operating as Yagur Property Valuation and coming out is a game-changing move backed by a 25-year career experience and more than 150,000 valuations under her portfolio and counting.
Ms Yagur is very confident with her expansion plans because she has built up the firm by delivering results in a timely manner where quality, credibility and trust go hand in hand.

It’s a great story of the business skill of a determined woman and by business we don’t mean just running a registered, tax-paying entity that employs people and takes care of families but business in the broadest sense, which is another eye-opener.
