Make Your Farm the One That Sells

farmland You have listed a farm for sale. In your listing packet you have given the buyer your list of tips for preparing their home for sale. But don't forget that selling a horse property is not the same as selling a home. The buyers are more or at least equally interested in the barns and pastures than they are in the house. Of course your sellers should follow your instructions and do the necessary things to present their home to the best advantage. But remember if the farm itself doesn't look its best the buyers won't ever make it into the home. Therefore in your listing packet also include a page of tips for getting their farm ready for sale.

Now the entire property will be ready to be the best presented listing on the market. If it is priced right, it should have an advantage over the competition and be the one that sells.

Great tips. I need to do everyone of them to my ranch currently.

Except for fence mending. I was able to finally hone my mending skills last Sunday.

Several years ago I sold a farm to horse breeders - they couldn't care less about the house since it could be updated over time where the horse facilities were an immediate need, Karen

Interesting and more interesting there are specific sites out there for horse properties. Makes sense I guess.

Sabrina - Fence mending is one of those things its not good to ignore. Loose horses aren't fun.

Karen - That's the way horse people are. Its all about the horses.

Anita - There are several sites for horse properties. I'll have to check out that one.

Denise - Some of the sites that list horses for sale list horse properties as well.
