How a farm is appraised: the satellite methodology
Satellite imagery, INTA soil maps, and on-site visits: this is how we determine the real value of a rural property.
Appraising a farm goes far beyond looking at comparable sales. It combines experience, technical expertise, and remote sensing technology to understand the land's true productive potential.
1. Preliminary Work
We analyze satellite imagery, consult INTA soil maps, and gather data from farms previously studied in the area to gain a thorough understanding of climate, productive suitability, and regional characteristics.
2. Field Visit
We visit the property, identify productive environments, and survey boundaries, structures, and the condition of permanent improvements using advanced technology.
3. Report and Valuation
We determine the value of the homestead in relation to the land's productive suitability, weigh the market context, and deliver a detailed valuation complete with maps and satellite imagery to support the analysis.
