Farm Brokerage
Experience in Real Estate Sales, Purchases, and Exchanges
We offer a complete package for selling or buying farmland or any other real estate assets our clients may own or desire.
Our Services
Sales - Because each farm is unique in its resources and location, our real estate professionals thoroughly research your farm and the market at the time. We then recommend a sales approach ranging from private sale to auction.
Auctions - We have a licensed auctioneer on staff and recommend auctions when they are best suited for the particular situation.
Purchases - Prospective buyers have their own unique needs. After listening to your goals and objectives, we apply what we’ve learned about you to our knowledge of the farmland real estate market to assist you in purchasing the right land to meet your needs.
Like-Kind Exchanges - Timing and market knowledge are critical. We have access to a vast network of rural real estate market information to meet your specific needs.
