Does Farmer Mac require that the appraiser or evaluator inspect the property?
Yes. In most situations, Farmer Mac expects the property information will be based on or confirmed by an on-site property inspection. However, when circumstances preclude an on-site inspection, such as a lack of peaceful access, the appraiser or evaluator can complete the work on the basis of an extraordinary assumption about the property information, subject to the Seller’s prior written agreement.
