Have a Farm to Sell? Selling Farmland
The sale of farmland is an involved and complex task. Some of the points to be considered are:- What time of year to offer it for sale?
- Should you do a public auction, traditional listing or other method of sale?
- Will you want to reinvest the sales proceeds via a 1031 exchange?
- Should the farm be surveyed?
- Should the farm be divided into multiple tracts?
- Is there a current lease in force?
- What about verbal leases?
- How des CRP or CREP affect the sale?
- How will the farm be marketed?
- Can we pull in outside investors?
