    Common Questions

    How long will it take to sell my farm?
    +
    Premier farm and land properties typically take 9-18 months to sell, longer than residential real estate. The timeline depends on acreage, price, location, and property features. We use specialized marketing to reach serious buyers actively seeking agricultural or recreational land, and our expertise helps optimize pricing and positioning to attract qualified buyers efficiently.
    What is your commission for farm and land sales?
    +
    Farm and land brokerage typically involves 6-10% commission depending on property size, value, and complexity. The commission structure reflects extended marketing timelines, specialized buyer networks, and transaction complexity. We discuss specific rates during the listing consultation based on your property's unique characteristics and market conditions.
    How is farmland valued differently than houses?
    +
    Farmland valuation is based on soil quality and productivity, water rights and availability, income from leases or operations, timber resources, recreational attributes like hunting or fishing, and development potential. We analyze all these factors plus comparable land sales to establish accurate pricing that reflects your property's true value to agricultural, recreational, and investment buyers.
    Do you help with properties that have existing farm leases?
    +
    Yes, existing farm leases are common and often valuable — they demonstrate income potential that helps buyers secure financing. We review lease terms, advise how they affect marketability and value, and structure sales to either transfer leases to the buyer or provide appropriate lease termination. Our experience with agricultural leases ensures smooth transitions.
    Can you help if I'm considering a 1031 exchange?
    +
    Absolutely. We have extensive experience with 1031 tax-deferred exchanges for agricultural and investment land. We coordinate with qualified intermediaries, understand the strict timelines, and can help identify suitable replacement properties. We always recommend consulting your tax advisor for guidance specific to your situation, and we work closely with your professional team throughout the process.
