- What makes an agricultural appraiser different?
- Agricultural properties are unique from other types of real estate. For this reason, appraisers that are trained in rural appraising receive an education geared towards the valuation of agricultural properties as well as spend 1,000’s of hours being mentored by qualified agricultural appraisers. This allows them to accurately assess and value agricultural real estate. It is not uncommon to see quality cropland valued as “excess land” and given minimal consideration in valuations while being completed by individuals who are not competent in agricultural real estate. You can trust our team to give a qualified assessment.
- How do I start the appraisal process?
- Contact us! You can message us, fill out an appraisal request form or call us. Check out our Contact Us page for links and info.
- Are Agrinomic Insights’ appraisers certified?
- Yes, our team is made up of certified commercial appraisers, members of American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) and Accredited Rural Appraiser (ARA) designated appraisers. We take education seriously and are frequently taking continuing education courses.
- Do you need to inspect the property in person?
- Typically, we will schedule an inspection to come out to the property. In special circumstances we may be able to complete the assignment without doing a physical inspection. This will be dependent on the scope of work and the nature of the property to be appraised.
