Types Of Farm Sales Missouri Buyers Are Looking For

By Karen Sanders


Sometimes people get into financial difficulties and have to sell assets to get the cash they need to pay creditors. Other times farmland that has been in a family for generations and is sold because the current heirs live far away or are not interested in pursuing a farming lifestyle. Whatever the reasons, when you have land you want to dispose of, the kind of farm sales Missouri buyers look for will likely determine whether or not you have an easy time selling.

A lot of people have the mistaken idea that land has to be improved in some way for a potential purchaser to take an interest in it. This is not necessarily so. Raw acreage has value for those who are looking for unobstructed property they can develop easily. Anything can be done on property as long as the plans meet zoning requirements and restrictions.

A lot of farmers all over the country grow row crops and harvest them one or more times a year. Private individuals and large commercial companies are often on the lookout for good cropland to raise fruits and vegetables for market. What they produce depends on climate, the amount of rainfall and the type of soil native to the region. Buyers will pay higher prices if the land in question includes water sources, wells, and barns and shelters.

People who raise livestock might take an interest in any real estate you have that will make good pastureland. There has to be plenty of grass and water for animals to graze. Fencing and cross fencing is an added bonus, and sturdy barns should increase the value as well.

Timberland is of interest to timber companies and people who hunt. The seller of this kind of property generally has a cruise done so investors can see exactly how many, what kind, and how old the trees are. There are plenty of buyers who want to find a good place for a hunting preserve and need wooded and open land for that purpose.

Once you make the decision to divest yourself of the family farm, you will have to put up signs and get the word out yourself or hire a local Realtor to do the work for you. You will save money on commissions by selling it yourself, but may get a better purchase price if you let a professional real estate agent handle the transaction for you.

Most auctioneers are happy to take a look at your land and see if auctioning is feasible. They have the ability to divide the property to make it more attractive to a larger audience. They are also used to advertising and marketing property in ways you might not be familiar with. If you decide to offer your property to the highest bidder, you will have a firm day of sale and, probably, a number of interested parties with solid offers.

Finding a buyer for your real estate doesn't have to be difficult if you remember to price the property right and put the sale information in the hands of the most interested individuals.
