Agricultural Appraisal Services
We understand the importance of agriculture in British Columbia and have experience in several different agricultural appraisal projects including orchards, vineyards, cash crops, hobby farms, cattle ranches, poultry farms, abattoirs, and dairy operations.
Expert Knowledge in All Agricultural Sectors
For crop production properties, our team of appraisers evaluates the topography and cultivatable acres, and the productive capabilities of agricultural land using current research tools on soil fertility and agricultural capability from the Agricultural Land Commission. For livestock properties, the expert knowledge of our appraisal team is applied to analyze the subject through the eyes of market participants, whether that’s per acre, capacity, income or otherwise. A market value appraisal is conducted taking into consideration the size and productive capacity of the subject and evaluating it against the most relevant and recent market activity through detailed analysis. Structures such as barns, stables, silos, pens, coops, and homes present on the land are also considered in our appraisals, as well as the potential for further use of the land.
Hobby Farm Appraisals
We also specialize in valuing hobby farms, which are typically considered to be hybrids between a farm and a rural residential property. Lenders recognize our reports in appraising both residential and agricultural properties.
