Re: land appraisal 7Sep 12, 2013 12:17 pm Land valuation is not an exact science. Get 5 valuations and they will likely all be different, and possibly even to a large degree.

As a matter of fact, in the beginning she was the one who encouraged us to go ahead with buying the land!! She even been giving us conflicting information throughout this process!!
