Target audience: Appraisers, Farm Managers
This 1-day seminar is designed to
guide Rural Appraisers and Farm Managers in completing environmental
“screens” or reports based on observation of a property. Many lenders,
property owners or buyers and other management and appraisal clients are
now demanding a level of environmental review on rural and agricultural
property. Transaction screening (or environmental due diligence) is
intended to be completed by persons who are not environmental
professionals, but who are knowledgeable about property…Farm Managers
and Rural Appraisers may qualify to do this work. This seminar explores
the responsibility of Appraisers to report what is observed (with no
opinion of impact unless the appraiser is also a qualified environmental
expert) and the duty of managers to protect the landowner, under their
fiduciary responsibility, by completing environmental due diligence
steps and any follow-on requirements. Our intent is to alert Managers
and Appraisers to their charges, not train environmental experts.
