Martin, Goodrich & Waddell Inc. provides a wide range of appraisals.

The purpose for your appraisal makes a difference in the amount of detail provided. For example, an appraisal prepared for an estate settlement issue before the IRS requires more in-depth analysis than a simple report prepared for a lender seeking support for documenting a loan on a bare tract of land.

However, all of our appraisals have a common standard: They will be completed by an Accredited Member of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers who is a Certified General Real Estate Appraisers in the appropriate state.

All appraisals will meet requirements of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). USPAP is a very flexible tool that allows our appraiser to meet your needs without performing unnecessary analysis and reporting. In all cases, we provide a reliable, timely report for you based on knowledge of the property, comparable sales in the current market, and your appraisal purpose.

The primary reporting tool used for our rural property appraisals is the Uniform Agricultural Appraisal Report (UAAR). This appraisal report form provides the flexibility to report a wide range of analysis types. It's readily understood and accepted by lenders, tax authorities and attorneys.

Types of property we can appraise:

• Simple bare tract of farmland unaffected by development to transitional land,
  warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
• Rural properties, from bare farmland to prime development land.
• Rural farmettes and part-time farms.
• Grain elevator or fertilizer plant.
• 2032A special use appraisals
• Limited Liability Corporation
• Limited Partnership valuations and partial interests in real estate.
