Ranch marketing is a very specific process, but it’s also one of the most fun parts of owning a ranch. Not only do you get creative and find ways to make your property stand out from other ranches on the market, but you also get to work with prospective buyers who have come to appreciate the lifestyle that comes with ranching. In this guide, we’ll discuss the steps you can take to improve your ranch’s appeal before selling it.
Hire a Ranch Broker
Hire a ranch broker with experience selling ranches in your area. A good ranch broker can help guide you through the process, which includes:
- Finding the right buyer(s) for your property.
- Pricing it appropriately so that it sells quickly and for top dollar.
- Negotiating with potential buyers, if necessary.
Gather Documentation
It’s not just the sale of your ranch that you should be preparing for, but how to make it desirable to potential buyers. Gathering your ranch’s documentation and history can present an image of success and stability that will help persuade other ranchers to purchase from you.
Gather all legal documents such as agricultural records, recreational records, water rights, grazing allotments, timber cruise and crop yields together in one place that’s easy for potential buyers to access and review.
Shine a Light on What Needs Improvement
Now that you have a good idea of what needs improvement, it’s time to highlight the property’s flaws. While the flaws may seem trivial to you, buyers will be more inclined to make an offer if they see no major flaws.
Here are some of the most important things you should do:
- Fix any gates or fences that don’t open or aren’t working properly.
- Get rid of all the trash, like broken cars and tires, that’s accumulated over the years.
- Put a fresh coat of paint to create an inviting atmosphere.
This may seem like a tough thing to do, but doing so will help potential buyers see the true value of your ranch. One way of getting started is by seeking out an appraisal of your land and facilities and examining any paperwork related to its use limitations.
When deciding whether or not you want to sell your ranch, keep in mind that there are many factors at play here—such as who will buy, how much money can be made from selling, what kind of tax breaks may come into play during this process; how much time and effort can go into maintaining such an estate after selling?
Fix Up and Add Curb Appeal
To help you sell your ranch, here are some things you can do to improve its curb appeal:
- Add a garage door. Even though most ranchers don’t have garages, adding one makes them look more modern and appealing from the outside—and will make people think twice before assuming that they can’t park their cars there!
- Add fencing around the perimeter of your land, so people know where their boundaries start/stop while on site.
Conveyances
- Conveyancing is the act of transferring the title of property from one person to another.
- A good conveyancer will help answer any questions about your land, including its worth, what repairs need, and how much I can get for my land.
- You should hire a conveyancer before listing your ranch for sale. This way, they can get all the paperwork done in advance and help ensure everything goes smoothly when you find a buyer.
