Challenges

While the first steps & questions may seem overwhelming, we’ve been helping landowners determine land values Since 1977.

What’s the going price per acre of farms and land in my county? Can an undivided interest in land be sold and what is the value? How do you value or get an appraisal on fractional ownership of a farm? How often should I get an updated value of my farm assets?

What is a stepped-up basis and how does this happen?

  • Value & Appraisals

    Market Analysis of the Property

    As a starting point, putting a value or price per acre on farmland is a necessary part of plan and prepare for retirement, estate planning or the eventual sale or auction of farmland.

    In some cases, the basis or value of the land at the time of inheritance, or date of death (DOD),  may also require a valuation or appraisal. A ‘stepped up basis’ or current value of the land assets today will become the foundation for the strategy of the sale, or real ‘division’ of the farmland.

    Since 1977

  • Comparative Market Analysis

    Since 1977 we’ve advised and guided landowners with the most up to date sales data & technology tools.

What People Are Saying

"We knew we could trust Geswein Farm & Land. "

We knew we could trust Geswein Farm & Land. We have known Geswein Farm & Land for many years and knew we could trust them to handle such a large transaction for us. We were quite surprised when our family farm sold very quickly for a very fair price in today's market.

Leuck Family, 102 Acres

"We recommend Geswein Farm and Land Real Estate without reservation."

Consummate Professionals, Excellent & Timely communicators. They know the farming culture in Indiana, had interested buyers in hand from the beginning, helped us understand how to value our land. Found buyer who cares about land stewardship, which is important to us. We were pleased with the agreed upon price and the expedited closing. They also handled related details such as the farm survey flawlessly. We recommend Geswein Farm and Land Real Estate without reservation. Would use them again in a minute.

"Helped make selling the family farm much easier."

Helped make selling the family farm much easier. Ed & Johnny helped make these challenging decisions much easier and the entire process was very smooth.

Wetli Family, 194 Acres

"They are most knowledgeable farm and land real estate brokers I have ever worked with"

We highly recommend Geswein Farm & Land. Their knowledge of real estate & perhaps equally importantly, their sensitivity to people’s memories and experiences make them an outstanding listing agent. They are most knowledgeable farm and land real estate brokers I have ever worked with and ALWAYS available to answer questions and offer help.

Benson Family, 144 Acres

"Working with Johnny was a real pleasure."

We highly recommend their services to sellers. Working with Johnny was a real pleasure. He was knowledgeable, respectful, proactive when things began to happen quickly and thorough when we worked towards and ultimately through closing. My sisters and I appreciated his gentle heart towards us in light of the circumstances of our sale. He kept in close contact with us from the onset right through to the day we closed. He has even checked in a few times since then to see how we are doing. We highly recommend his services to a potential seller (or buyer for that matter!)

Johnson Family, 80 Acres

"Skilled, Caring and Professional; we highly recommend them."

We live in California but own a farm in Indiana. We found Geswein Farm & Land online and we sure are glad we did. We had a significant family ownership challenge with no easy answer. At first, we were hesitant with the proposed solution, but it turns out they were right. Now our family is on good terms again. Their team is skilled, caring, and professional; we highly recommend them.

Leach Family, 160 Acres

Warren County

"Experienced & Proactive Advisors & Brokers"

This team took care of every aspect of the sale including appraisals, management of the process, and negotiations on our undivided interest farms that are over 1,500 miles away from where we live. As an out of state landowners, we were impressed by the way they kept us informed and involved in every step of the process; their knowledge and experience in farmland sales in this region as well as their ability to interact with every member of our family was instrumental to the successful sale of farmland assets.

Morgan Family, 312 Acres

Indiana

"Prompt with Communication & Thorough in Details"

My family and I had a great experience with Geswein when purchasing our property. We would highly recommend Chris Turnbell. Chris was prompt with communication, thorough with specific details, and left us feeling like we could count on him. He is refreshingly down to earth, level headed, and knowledgeable in his field. He worked hard to get needed information quickly, and made us feel like a priority.

Cage Family, 80 Acres

I highly recommend Geswein and specifically Johnny. I had every confidence in his knowledge and expertise from the beginning. He sold our 85 acres of land quickly and at a great price. Everything was very easy. And I was always in the loop about what was happening. Thanks Johnny. We are very happy!
