Property Assessments

If you have recently bought rural land or are investigating a purchase, our property assessment services can help you with your transition. Statistically, the majority of those currently buying rural land, whether developers, retirees or industrious “back-to-the-Landers,” have never owned or managed rural land before.

Knowing What to Look for on Rural Land

The number of factors determining the value, usability and limitations of rural land is vast and often unapparent to those with limited experience. For instance, many unwittingly buy land that has been recently logged with no clear idea of what it will take to clean it up. Others assume that just because a property has flowing water that they have a “year-round” stream or spring. Still another frequently encountered problem is access. Carefully planned and constructed roads are vitally important to safety, enjoyment and finances. Roads usually constitute the largest expenditure, behind construction, landowners will face.
