From the Valuation Department, Ms. Ho Kim Oanh - Director and Mr. Nguyen Hoai Nam - Senior Manager of CBRE have shared valuable knowledge about risk control processes and quality management in the real estate appraisal process; and the unique points that contribute to enhancing the value of CBRE's valuation consulting services in the market.
