Hello everyone and thank you for reading our latest Land Link. This is kind of a follow up on our last blog of why this is a perfect time to be either selling or buying land. I am constantly amazed by how many postcards I get from what seems like every real estate company telling us how they are the perfect company to sell your land.
First of all it is not that hard to become a licensed real estate agent in the state of Missouri and it is not hard to get a list of land owners either by county or area of state. While times are good everyone has a member of the family or family friend that has a license and this is what makes them think that they are now qualified to sell what many times is your biggest investment and that is your land.
Hiring a person to sell and market your prized or most valuable asset should be considered the same way. Interview and ask questions. Get a professional who knows land, knows how to price land, knows how to market, knows the business and most of all that you trust and that will fight for you to get every dollar that the farm can get not just to talk you into taking an offer because they need to make their house payment but to get a contract that works for you the seller.
Thank you,
Drennan Bailey
