4 Tips to Know Before Selling Land

For many landowners, selling a farm may be an overwhelming chore, especially if the farm was inherited.  Before you sell your farm, there are tasks that should be completed.  Here, I give four of my best tips for what a seller should do before they sell their farm:

Price it right

To make a fast sale on your property, price the farm no more than 5 – 10 percent over market price. It’ll give the potential buyer a sense of urgency to act, and the buyer will arrive at the table quickly since they know the property is going to sell swiftly.

Make your farm presentable before you sell land

The biggest tip to give a landowner while selling land, outside of pricing it properly, includes getting the property as “market ready” as you can. That means having it appear its best before it heads to the market. You should mow up the trails and roads and overgrown areas that normally would be mowed, repairing gates which aren’t hanging straight or laying over, as well as organizing old junk that might be laying around—just make the property offer great “curb appeal.” It really helps farms sell if they “show well.”  Imagine it like you were the buyer: when the property looks great, it is more attractive to potential buyers.

Think about dividing your property

Think about selling several tracts that drive a higher price. Keep in mind that it might extend the overall period it takes to sell everything.

Obtain a survey

When buying or selling a farm, it is a good idea to get the property surveyed.  Not only will it make potential buyers more at ease by visually viewing the property lines, it also can promote a great relationship with neighbors when all participants understand their boundaries.
