HISTORY
Agri choice Real Estate Appraisals Inc was formerly operated by Ron Phillips under Phillips and Associates. The business was succeeded in 2003 but a complete history of any all previous work completed by Phillips and associates is still available upon request. In addition, a sales database going back to 1970 is still used today and continues to be updated to be able to provide our client with both current and retrospective appraisals.
