Two farms a few miles apart in southeast Iowa can have very different values. Soil quality, drainage, flood exposure, water sources, and road access all shift the number. Spurgeon Appraisals provides farm and land appraisals across nine southeast Iowa counties for lenders, attorneys, and families who need a value grounded in how local ground is actually selling.

Each appraisal is completed by a certified real estate appraiser who knows the differences between the river-bottom ground along the Mississippi and Des Moines rivers and the rolling upland farms further west. Values are backed by a local sales database built to hold up under review from an ag lender, a court, or the IRS.

We also cover rural parcels and unincorporated areas throughout each county.
