Owner's Objectives
Deciding whether to buy, sell, or exchange a farm can be a complicated decision.
We help landowners and investors identify their goals and ownership objectives.
As your Designated Agent, we will represent you in the transaction and keep
your goal foremost. We guide you through the process with regular communication.
Property Evaluation
We carefully research the market and complete a property evaluation to assess
the current market value of the property. In the process, we determine the
market conditions in the area of your land investment. We provide an in-depth market
analysis to you, showing the comparable properties that have recently sold
in the area.
Knowledge of Market
Our staff of full-time real estate brokers, who are also Accredited Rural
Appraisers, actively work in the farmland market each day. Our background
as consultants, farm managers, and appraisers with extensive education and
training make us knowledgeable in this field. You can have confidence in
our ability to evaluate market conditions.
Presentation of Property
We implement a complete marketing program for your property. Items included
are:
• Brochures - A complete, detailed professional sales brochure
of your farm, highlighting the property features, will be prepared. Information
such as detailed soils maps and analysis, aerial photos and topographic
maps, to name a few, are included. We provide these brochures to interested
potential buyers and other brokers.
Signs - We place "for sale" signs on the property to help potential
buyers locate your property.
• MLS Network/National Contacts - Your property will sell for
the best price and terms when it is exposed to other brokers who may be
representing buyers. All information is channeled to other brokers through
our firm so that your property information is always current and professionally
prepared.
• Advertising - Our advertising program helps ensure that your
property will get the greatest exposure to potential buyers.
• Phone Calls - We are available by phone with a 24-hour recorder,
toll free phone line, mobile phone, and regularly take and make at home calls to be in
touch with you and potential buyers. In addition, we are available by electronic
mail and facsimile machine.
• Showings - Your property will be shown to potential buyers
whenever they want to see the property. We can schedule this through you,
if you desire, so as not to inconvenience anyone in the transaction.
• Computerized Network - We expose your property through a computerized
network of potential buyers and investors who are looking for properties,
including those buyers looking through other brokers. The latest technology
is used to locate buyers for your property. Our state, national, and international
network gives you the ultimate exposure for your property.
Farm-Oriented Contracts and Negotiating
Our contracts are farm-oriented and approved by the Illinois Association
of Realtors legal counsel so that all aspects of a farm transaction are
covered. As your Designated Agent, you can be assured that your position
is always represented in negotiations.
Buyer Financing Assistance
Sometimes potential buyers are not aware of all sources of land financing.
We can provide buyers with information on financing sources to facilitate
a sale for you.
Prompt, Efficient Closings
As your Designated Agent, we coordinate the closing. We handle all details,
working with your attorney, so that the transaction is closed in an efficient
and trouble-free manner. We keep you fully informed of the progress toward
closing with regular communication. A closing statement is provided for
your review prior to closing.
Purchasing Property
For those looking to purchase land, we can also provide a Designated Agent
to represent you in the process. We help you find the property you desire
which meets your ownership objectives and purchasing goals. We guide you
through the purchase or exchange process with regular communication. Information
you need to evaluate a property and the market area is researched and provided
to you.
