About
Taxatie Bureau Jozef Laclé
Combining generations of experience with innovation to provide trusted, independent and technically sound real estate valuations for Aruba and the Caribbean.
Taxatie Bureau Jozef Laclé is one of Aruba's established family-owned valuation and property-consulting firms, built on a legacy of over 75 years of combined experience in architecture, construction and real estate appraisal. As a proud third-generation family business, the firm combines decades of practical expertise with modern technology to deliver accurate, independent and well-supported property valuations.
Founded by Jozef Laclé, whose dedication and integrity helped establish the firm's reputation throughout Aruba, the company continues to build on his legacy after his retirement more than 15 years ago. Today the firm is led by Architect & Construction Engineer Greg Laclé, together with Akira Laclé and Tristan Laclé, Appraisers in Training, continuing the family's commitment to excellence and professional development.
What distinguishes Taxatie Bureau Jozef Laclé is its unique integration of architectural, engineering, construction and valuation expertise, allowing every appraisal to be supported by a deep understanding of building design, construction methods, market conditions and property economics.
The firm maintains one of Aruba's most extensive proprietary real estate databases, with market information and comparable-sales records dating back to 1996 — more than 30 years of historical market data. This enables highly reliable market analyses and well-supported valuation conclusions.
Taxatie Bureau Jozef Laclé provides valuation services for residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality and special-purpose properties, serving banks, financial institutions, government agencies, legal professionals, businesses and private clients. The firm is also one of the founders of the AAA — Aruba Appraisers Association — which upholds the standards of the appraisal profession in Aruba, in line with the NRVT, the Netherlands Register of Real Estate Appraisers (Nederlands Register Vastgoed Taxateurs, www.nrvt.nl). The firm remains committed to delivering professional, objective and accurate appraisal reports while embracing innovation and the latest technologies to enhance efficiency, market analysis and client service.
What we hold to
Independence
No brokerage, no interest in the outcome. The value is what the evidence supports.
Evidence
Every conclusion is traceable to an inspection finding or a market fact in the report.
Clarity
A report that a client, a lender and a court can each read and follow without a translator.
Discretion
Property matters are private. Your report and your circumstances stay between us.
