This information, along with a pre-diligence packet for each offering can be accessed through your personal investment dashboard.

3. Transparent fees

Transparency is key to building trust. On average, our platform fee is 3% of the purchase price, which is paid at the closing. Please read the disclosure & fee agreement on each specific offering to fully understand the agency & fee payment structure.

FAQs

What is a farm sale-leaseback?

A sale-leaseback is when an investor acquires land from a farm owner-operator and then leases it back to them on a long-term basis. This can provide value to farmers when they want to keep farming the land, but would like to free up some money. A sale-leaseback provides liquidity to the farmer while helping them maintain on-going operational control of the land. By pairing an owner-operator with a qualified investor through the FarmlandFinder platform, a sale-leaseback can be done in a few simple steps. Curious to learn more? Click here.
