RE: [RC] Where to list horse property. - Paul Sidio
Stacy,
I am a Realtor who sells rural property. We have
had a decent response from Equestrianliving.com, and LandsofAmerica.com, Trail
Rider magazine got some action as did Ranch Real Estate and also Horsemans
News(California)
.
Try to imagine where your Buyer will come from. Is
it likely the folks a mile down the road will be players?" Or will it have to be
somebody from out of the area? That will help you choose where to make your
marketing efforts.
It sounds as if you have a fairly high dollar
property. If you are going to try and "save" paying a real estate
commission, then you need to set a budget for marketing the property. I would
suggest at least 1% of the projected sales price, and 2% might not be too much.
Put together a nice color brochure, and create a video tour of the place... Lots
of photos!!!. 50 -100 pictures ...panoramas , show the roads, attach a map
of the area..
Here is some more free information ... Take it from
a professional who does over 100 transactions per year. The
old saying about the three most important things in real estate are Location,
Location and Location is dead wrong. The truth is that the most important three
things in selling real estate is Price, Price and Price. Location can have an
effect on price, but look at any place that was on the market for a long time,
but finally sold. Did they move it and change the location??? Or did they lower
the Price? We may be entering a slow down period in real estate sales. If
you price it too high, you may own it a long time. Don't get
greedy.
Of course you could always list it with a
professional real estate broker, or offer to pay brokers who bring you a Buyer a
commision, but that's your decision.
