Broker FAQs

Can I request an offer for any of my listings?

Our buyer network is typically more interested in private transactions, so we prefer that all offer requests are either private listings or properties that recently 'no-saled' at auction. FarmlandFinder is not a listing website & our platform does not provide broad exposure. Properties in our network are carefully analyzed and matched with a short list of targeted buyers whose criteria specifically match the profile of that farm.

I just had a "no sale" at an auction. Can FarmlandFinder help?

Yes. Simply request an offer and you can expect to receive an offer in as little as 7 days.

When I bring a seller to the table, how do I get paid?

If you have a listing & fee agreement with the seller, you'll get paid by the seller. Anyone who buys a property through FarmlandFinder pays a 3% service fee, which means we get paid by the buyer. This creates a win-win for both parties.

Can I get paid for bringing a buyer to the table?

Short story: yes. Long story: the only way buyers get access to properties in our private marketplace is by creating a buyer profile. Once they have a profile, we'll send them emails for any property in our network that matches their purchasing criteria. When you sign up a buyer profile, you'll receive 1% fee on any property they purchase through FarmlandFinder - helping put more money in your pocket with less effort.
