Questions to Ask When Selecting a Broker

When buying agricultural real estate, working with a farm land specialist can minimize the price you pay and maximize your long-term return on investment. The seller will have a broker working on his behalf; shouldn't you? Ask yourself these questions before selecting a broker to help with your ag land purchase.

Does the broker:

  • Specialize in farm land sales?
  • Make you feel comfortable with the purchasing process?
  • Communicate clearly with you, encouraging questions and explaining terms and procedures?
  • Help you set realistic investment parameters for your farm land purchase?
  • Have experience in analyzing and assessing farm land values and understand the variables that will impact your long-term return on investment?
  • Know farm land values in the area you wish to buy? Provide you with recent comparable sale information to support this value?
  • Understand complex financing arrangements?
  • Have connections with absentee and institutional investors?
  • Have experience in tax-deferred exchanges?
  • Research all available properties to help uncover the best property for you to buy?
