Rincon Corporation recently announced the addition of Ed Hawkes to its staff as Appraiser. We are very pleased to have Ed joining Rincon, and feel very fortunate to have been able to locate someone with his experience and abilities.
Ed, a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser with the State of California, has 13 years of appraisal experience. After graduating from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a degree in Agricultural Management, Ed supervised a 7,500 acre farming operation near Colusa for a few years. He then started his appraisal career for Bank of America in Sacramento.
Moving into Farm Management, Ed managed agricultural properties first for Bank of America and then for Wells Fargo Bank in Santa Maria. When Wells Fargo later closed that office, Ed decided to remain in Santa Maria and resume his appraisal career. After working as an independent appraiser, he joined the firm of Reeder, Gilman & Associates. During his nine years at Reeder, Gilman, Ed was able to utilize his knowledge and experience in agricultural appraisal, while accumulating experience in commercial, industrial and residential appraisal as well.
“Agriculture is my first love,” says Ed, “But the experience doing commercial, industrial, and residential appraisals makes me a more versatile appraiser and gives me a broader background into the economics that drive all real estate values”.
“Joining Rincon is an exciting step for my career”, according to Hawkes. “It allows me to continue my appraisal career with the leading agricultural real estate company in the area, and gives me the opportunity to become involved in farm and ranch management again.
” Ed is an important addition to the staff of Rincon, adding a further dimension to the services that Rincon provides.
“Having a certified appraiser on staff allows us to better meet all the real estate needs of our clientele,” says Larry Lahr, President of Rincon. “High quality appraisals are a critical element to agricultural real estate ownership. It is imperative that a landowner has the right information in a timely manner in order to make the right decisions on issues regarding their property. These include financing, estate planning, condemnation, litigation, tax support, and overall management information.”
