Following are the real estate services we provide to you as your listing agent:
As your agent, we will represent you to obtain the most net dollars from your property. An analysis of comparable sales is used to estimate market value and to discuss listing prices. We would keep you informed and present all offers for consideration. We customize our selling approach to your needs, as well as the salient attributes of your property.
Develop a complete information sheet, which includes the location, tax information, FSA data, a detailed soil map, soil inventory, location map, an aerial photo, and other pertinent information. This information is provided to potential buyers and cooperating brokers.
"For Sale" signs are placed on the property. This allows prospective buyers to confirm the location of the property. Signs reinforce the availability of the farm being for sale to potential buyers.
We advertise in local, regional, and state newspapers to obtain the largest exposure to potential buyers.
Cooperation with brokers is important. We cooperate with other real estate brokers and believe this exposure disseminates complete information to all prospective bidders. Listing eases the communication requirements for you, as you may refer inquiring brokers to us to answer their questions about your property.
Our brokers are available at home to talk to prospects during evening and early morning hours.
We have over 60 licensed real estate agents located in Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska and individuals are licensed in the following additional states: Colorado, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. These licensed agents specialize in the sale, acquisition, appraisal, and management of farmland.
We utilize direct mail advertising to the neighborhood, absentee landowners in the area, and to area real estate brokers.
As your real estate agent, we coordinate the farm closing. We help you meet title requirements, complete all standard forms, such as the Declaration of Value and Groundwater Hazard Statement, and can handle the closing in consultation with your legal counsel. These services are above those of a typical broker. This often saves significant legal expense.
We have enjoyed the convenience and efficiency of facsimile machines for some time and have e-mail available for all Hertz personnel. Our office telephone system is equipped with voice mail so that our clients and prospective buyers can leave messages at anytime and we can access the system in or out of the office at anytime. Mobile phones allow us to communicate more efficiently with clients and prospects. All listings appear on the listings portion of this web page.
We are members of the Central States Farm Multiples. The Farm Multiples provide information on farms for sale to all other cooperating brokers in the multiple system. We believe it is important to include land for sale in the Farm Multiples. We invite prospective clients to visit with us at no obligation about the services we provide.
