HISTORY
MID-STATES APPRAISAL

own to develop an agribusiness specialty. With a degree in Business and Economics,
from Marymount College of Salina, Kansas, Dennis took the opportunity as it
arose for him while employed with Evco Inc., owned by Dean Evans, owner of Evans
Grain Company located in the same building. With encouragement from Dean Evans,
Dennis began with one appraisal on a grain elevator of Long Pine, Nebraska,
owned by Harold Coash.
Dennis took his Real Estate
Sales requirements in the late 1970's and completed his Brokerage License requirements
in early 1980's. With continued education in the field of real estate appraisal
