Farm and ranch services for receivers and fiduciaries
Every assignment has its own scope, authority and timeline. We begin by discussing the property, the services needed and the instructions of the receiver or fiduciary and their counsel. Brokerage and appraisal engagements are defined separately as appropriate to the assignment.
Land valuation and appraisal
Our agricultural appraisal practice focuses on farms, ranches and commercial cattle feedyards. The firm's published appraisal services include estate and gift tax valuations, undivided interest valuations, ranch partitions, work with bank trust departments and expert witness testimony. For a receivership or fiduciary matter, contact us to discuss the intended use, valuation date, property interests and reporting requirements for a proposed appraisal engagement.

Farm, ranch and land brokerage
For property that is authorized for sale, our brokerage team can discuss pricing, property presentation, buyer inquiries, showings, offers and transaction coordination. We work with the client's designated decision makers and counsel so that the proposed sale process reflects the engagement and any applicable approval requirements.

Property marketing
Rural properties benefit from marketing that explains the land's features clearly. Our existing marketing services include professional photography and video, property maps, brochures, digital exposure and targeted buyer outreach. A proposed marketing plan can be discussed in light of the property's characteristics, access arrangements and the instructions for the assignment.
