A thorough, well-supported appraisal process…
Every commercial appraisal assignment begins with an understanding of the property and the intended use of the appraisal. Depending on the assignment, our process could include:
1. Reviewing the property information and appraisal requirements
2. Inspecting the real estate and relevant improvements
3. Researching the local and regional market
4. Analyzing comparable sales, rental information, operating data, and replacement costs when applicable
5. Applying the valuation approaches appropriate for the property
6. Reconciling the available evidence into a supported opinion of value
7. Preparing a professional appraisal report that clearly communicates the analysis and conclusions
We develop our appraisal reports in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, commonly known as USPAP.

A professional commercial appraisal may be needed for:
Financing and Refinancing
Lenders and borrowers rely on credible valuations to evaluate collateral, underwrite loans, or refinance existing commercial property.
Buying or Selling Property
An appraisal can help buyers, sellers, and investors better understand a property’s market value before negotiating or completing a transaction.
Estate and Trust Planning
Attorneys, executors, trustees, and families may need a well-supported property valuation for estate planning, settlement, probate, or date-of-death purposes.
Divorce and Partnership Dissolution
An independent appraisal can provide an objective opinion of value when real estate must be divided, transferred, or considered in a business or marital dissolution.
Litigation and Legal Matters
Attorneys and their clients may require commercial appraisal services for disputes involving property value, damages, ownership interests, or other legal issues.
Tax Assessment Review
Commercial property owners may need an appraisal when reviewing an assessment or determining whether a property’s taxable value is supported by the market.
Internal Planning and Asset Management
Business owners and investors may use an appraisal for succession planning, portfolio analysis, financial reporting, or long-term property decisions.
Understanding Rural and Small-Market Commercial Real Estate
Commercial property in a rural or smaller market cannot always be evaluated using the same assumptions applied in a major metropolitan area. Comparable sales may be limited, tenants may come from a wider geographic region, leases may be inconsistent, and a property’s agricultural or local economic connections may significantly affect demand.
AgriLand Realty Advisors / Commercial Appraisal Group understands these challenges.
Our team researches the appropriate market area, analyzes available sales and income information, and considers the specific physical, economic, and operational characteristics that influence each property’s value.
This is especially important for properties that combine commercial and agricultural uses or include specialized improvements, equipment-related infrastructure, multiple buildings, or substantial acreage.

How long does a commercial appraisal take?
The timeline depends on the property's complexity, information availability, the market research required, and the type of report needed. Contact our office as early as possible if the appraisal is connected to a closing, hearing, or other deadline.
What information should I provide?
Helpful information may include surveys, legal descriptions, building plans, leases, rent rolls, operating statements, tax records, environmental reports, and information about recent improvements. The appraiser will identify the documents needed for your specific assignment.
Do you appraise unusual or special-purpose properties?

Do you provide commercial appraisals outside Missouri?
