Real Appraisal Knowledge
With a certified general appraiser as your broker, your land is priced on evidence — soils, timber, water and comparables — not guesswork.
About Farm & Plantation Realty, LLC
A South Georgia land brokerage built on nearly four decades of hands-on farm, timber and hunting-land experience.
Meet Don Butts — Broker & Certified General Appraiser
Don Butts, Broker/Owner of Farm & Plantation Realty, LLC in Albany, Georgia, is experienced at selling irrigated and non-irrigated farmland, pastureland, timberland and hunting tracts. He is also a certified appraiser specializing in land and heavy-equipment appraisals, and he has managed farm & hunting land — his own and his clients' — for close to 40 years.
Don's equipment-appraisal background includes work with seven Georgia tax assessors' offices, an auction territory of roughly 1,800 miles, and the designation of Certified Industrial Machinery Appraiser (CIMA). He is a lifetime accredited member of the American Society of Farm Equipment Appraisers and a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser.
As a land & commercial loan originator, Don also arranges private-money financing for farms, timberland and commercial property — meaning he understands land value from every angle: buying, selling, managing, financing and appraising.
