Selling an acreage in today’s real estate market is not an easy process. It can be tedious and time-consuming. Unlike a residential property, selling an acreage involves extra steps, especially with the extra land, any livestock amenities, and outbuildings that can be involved. However, if your property looks good and is well-maintained, it is more likely that the buyers will be interested in buying it.
Selling an acreage creates two major challenges- they are often more expensive than residential homes, mostly due to the fact that they are covering a larger area, and involve outbuildings.
All of this means you need an altogether different strategy to sell an acreage than the one that is used for selling residential homes. Find a REALTOR who specializes in acreage properties. You should seek help from a Realtor who has extensive knowledge about acreage properties. An expert real estate agent would be able to direct your property to the right buyers. It is also important to work closely with an rural Realtor to ensure that your property is priced correctly.
Here are some questions that you should ask a Realtor before hiring:
- How much experience do you have in selling acreage properties?
- How much experience do you have in the local real estate market?
- Do you have any testimonials from your past acreage clients?
- What kind of other services do you provide?
Happy Selling!
