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.

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.

Professional livestock ranchers are often looking for good pastureland for their herds. They tend to look at large acreage tracts if they are commercial ranchers. These buyers want level, grassy land that has been fenced and cross fenced. They need good, reliable water sources for the animals they raise as well.

Deer, duck, dove, geese and turkey hunting is big business as well. Plantations can make a lot of money if they are on land plentiful with game. Good timberland is of interest to people who run these types of operations. Open land and wooded acreage provide great opportunities for avid sportsmen pursuing their hunting passions. Timber companies are also interested in land dense with mature trees.

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.

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.

If your property is priced right, you should not have trouble finding a purchaser for the property you want to sell. Putting up signs with all the pertinent information in an area where they are clearly noticeable is a good first step in negotiating a sale.
