General Info

NFM maintains a philosophy of continually improving its client services by promoting high quality continuing education to its employees. Farm Managers are actively involved with the American Society of Farm Managerâ??s and Rural Appraisers (Minnesota Chapter) and the Realtors Association which provide excellent continuing education programs. These organizations also provide standards of professionalism and ethics. All farm managers are licensed real estate agents/broker and real estate appraisers are on staff. All farm managers have achieved or are in the process of achieving the Accredited Farm Manager designation (AFM) which is awarded by the ASFMRA. The designation is for those individuals who demonstrate experience and complete a rigorous education program designed to enhance professional skills and knowledge of land management and production agriculture. The Realtors Association and Realtors Land Institute also provide excellent education programs in farm real estate sales. Involvement with these associations also provides opportunity to network with other professions.
