WELCOME In 2017, Our family is proud to announce the launch of a home improvement/ Ag services business. We will offer residential and farm related services. ​ If you need a hired hand around the house or farm, put our years of experience to work for you. I’ve worked in the construction business most of my life as a sideline to my everyday job, but now we are taking it to the next level. Once we moved to Osceola, we bought our first starter home that we proceeded to completely dismantle and renovate. Following that adventure, we moved to the country to raise our family and build our dream home from the ground up. Our family has become a team that can accomplish great things.

Commercial Real Estate Appraising - We appraise the "big box" commercial buildings. Machinery dealerships, warehouses, repair shops and local industrial buildings fit in the category of "big boxes".

We just know what has worked for other businesses, other families and other generations. Give us a call to set up a consultation! Thank you for considering Benchmark Agribusiness Inc.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished.
