In today’s Small Fortune episode Ben Slaughter, founder of Agricultural Property Appraisal Company Arable, joins Carol Collison to discuss the challenges of appraising the market value of wineries in a commercial real estate class where no two assets are exactly alike. Ben and his team use experience and technology to provide market value estimates for a variety of uses: from financing and acquisition to estate planning and litigation. Ben describes his initial assessment of some recorded values on winery properties recently included in the Vintage Wine Estates bankruptcy, and whether and how they might affect market values going forward.
