ABOUT US

Our six Owners work full time within the company to provide professional real estate services. Agri Affiliates was created in January 1985, and rapidly became a very successful company. Our owners and employees were raised on a farm or ranch, and this opportunity instilled in them excellent work ethic and agricultural knowledge.

Almost all of our work family have earned a college degree, plus extensive training in the services we provide. The success of our Company also has a firm foundation on the vast array of prior personal experiences: crop consulting and scouting, irrigation motor and center pivot equipment sales, commercial and purebred livestock production (cattle & swine), both irrigated and nonirrigated crop production, real estate mortgage lending for major insurance companies, national seed sales, and many other agricultural opportunities. Members of our work family have as many as 35 years experience in appraisal, management and real estate sales of agricultural properties, covering multiple states.

Most importantly, we work as a cohesive Team. Each member has the backing and assistance of all members, regardless of specialty or location. We are what we live 24 hours a day - professionals providing farm-ranch real estate services.

We are very proud of Agri Affiliates, and are eager to work for You. Please call us whether you have a specific need or just want to discuss a subject. We love to share our experience and knowledge, often at no cost to you. Agri Affiliates is determined to possess the highest ethics and professionalism as signified by Shalah in her poem “The Contract”. Please visit our web site, as we believe it demonstrates the essence of our Company.

The Contract

When two people meet an agreement made, the terms of the deal the plans are laid. Each one gives their seal by the grip of their hand, on their word of honor they take their stand. These days there are contracts all written out, so there is nothing to dispute about. But if a person won’t stand on their word understood, A piece of paper won’t make it good.

Real EstateAuction

Agricultural properties may be jointly owned by several owners. At sale time it may be difficult for this ownership to make a collective decision; or a Personal Representative may be reluctant to make a final decision regardless of how the property is owned. For these and other reasons a public auction may be the sales method of choice. Features & benefits of an auction are:

• The sales period can be shortened from an extended period to 90 days or less; potential buyers must place their bid in a competitive setting; the property sells on the appointed auction date.

• The property sells in an open process, and all owners of the property can see the offers and/or place their own bid; this allows the owners to make an informed and timely sales decision.

• An auction by Agri Affiliates stimulates competition between buyers.

• The farm/ranch/recreational property can be offered fairly to all potential buyers on an equal basis; the highest bid makes the final decision for both the Seller and Buyer in open competition.

• Our auction process is infectious, often producing a sale value at the top of the market; an auction does not create buyers or improve a property, but it stirs the competition; an auction by Agri Affiliates is very professional and thorough, and it finds the highest sales price available.
