The Types Of Farm Sales Missouri Buyers Are Looking For

By Karen Sanders


A lot of times farms stay in families for generations. They are truly one of the earliest American family businesses. There are times however when heirs decide they have no interest in continuing the tradition, and property has to be put up for sale. Farm sales Missouri buyers are on the lookout for depend on their agricultural interests.

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.

Fruits and vegetables are big business, and commercial growers are always interested in good land where crops can be grown and harvested several times during planting season. They need level ground, good soil, and water sources if they are going to be persuaded to make an offer on the property you have for sale. Any structures you have erected on the property such as sheds, shelters, and barns should add some value.

Grass fed beef is very much in demand in today's market. Much of the public is concerned with cattle injected with steroids and antibiotics to make them bigger and meatier. Ranchers who can find suitable pasture land where their herds can graze and grow naturally avoid marketing doctored steers. Grassy land with plentiful water supplies can be highly sought after.

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.

Some individuals with property to sell resist hiring a Realtor to help them because they don't want to pay the commission. You can always try to advertise the acreage yourself first and see what happens. You might finally decide that paying a commission is better than the trouble of showing the property and qualifying prospects yourself. You may have to ask a little more per acre to offset the commission if you involve a real estate agent.

You might even want to contact a local auctioneer to see if your property is a good candidate for auctioning. This person will look over your land, research comparable sales, and get back to you with a marketing plan. If you decide to go this route, you will have qualified buyers bidding against each other on a specified day. You will be able to accept or reject the highest offer and, if you are agreeable, close within ninety days or so.

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.
