Mid America Land Services, Inc. has four state certified general real estate appraisers with over 100 years combined experience in preparing agriculture appraisals. We appraise grain farms, timber tracts, pastureland, combination farms, specialized facilities such as hog and poultry confinement operations, grain elevators and packing plants. We also have experience in recreational tracts including hunting clubs. Two appraisers are "Yellow Book" qualified and can prepare "conservation easement" appraisals for IRS purposes. We prepare appraisals for clients throughout Missouri and southern Iowa for the following purposes: loans, sale, estates, IRS, conservation casements, divorce proceedings, etc.

  • Identify and analyze comparable property transactions. This data has been confirmed with the buyer, seller, another appraiser, or agent handling transaction
  • Reconcile the above research data to form an opinion of market value for the subject property

The appraisal report will normally include:

  • A description of the land and building improvement being appraised will include detailed analysis of subject soil types, productivity and uses
  • A sales history of the subject property
  • A summary of property trends in the local market including identification of current and projected competition and a forecast of effective demand
  • Highest and best use analysis
