REAL ESTATE
EXPERIENCE
Anchor points indicate the latest upcoming real estate listings and sales results for the past few years.
Our agents list and sell all types of real estate: live, online or sealed bid auctions, acquisitions or private sales. After thoroughly evaluating the property and engaging in discussions with the client, we will confidently recommend the most effective method of sale tailored to their needs. We are dedicated to ensuring a smooth and successful transaction that exceeds expectations.
Auction or Private Sale
Our recommendation is that you enter the sale process with an open mind. If asked, Halderman will make a recommendation as to which type of sale is best for your farm. This recommendation is based on the method we think can best achieve your goals and the property itself. Some farms naturally lend themselves to one type of marketing system. For example a bare 80 acres in a location that typically has a lot of competition is likely a good auction candidate. In contrast, a highly improved swine operation is probably better sold as a going concern via private treaty.
Should I sell my farm?
This is a question only you can answer. Halderman Companies can help you determine what you might expect in terms of sale price and can describe the current marketplace vs the historical trends. We can also help you think about tax scenarios and family estate planning issues and put you in contact with attorneys or accountants, if needed. Once you have the information you can make a more informed decision on the timing of a sale.
What is a fair price?
Prior to selling Halderman can assist you in determining a sale price range and even complete an appraisal, if necessary. Using this information we will assist you in determining an asking price in a private sale scenario and a release price for an auction sale. Of course the fair price is determined ultimately by the market where a willing seller and a willing buyer agree on a price and terms. This can be achieved via a well marketed auction where there are a number of bidders in attendance and active bidding. It can also be achieved via private sale marketing and subsequent negotiations.
