How do I find land for sale near me?
There are a couple ways you can find land for sale in your target area. First, you can connect with a farmland real estate agent. Second, you can join our weekly real estate email.
- Get in touch with an agriculture real estate agent. If you’re a buyer, having a farmland real estate agent that watches the market regularly is an especially effective way to make sure you are always aware of farms for sale in your target area. Agents often get a ‘behind the scenes’ look and are able to learn about properties before they hit the market. This can give you a competitive advantage in some instances and having a Hertz real estate agent on your side is definitely worth it!

Is now a good time to buy a farm?
The answer to this question also depends! Similar to selling a farm, the same factors that influence selling land can have a reverse influence on the land buying environment. Having said that, each buyer will want to evaluate each purchase opportunity based on the buyer’s specific goals, the merits of the farm, and the larger market factors, including
- Commodity Markets
- Interest Rates
- Land Sale Volume – Locally and Market wide
- Location
At Hertz we stay on top of all these factors, which enables us to give you the best localized advice on land investing. If you’re interested in buying farmland, call us at 800-593-5263, or you can fill out our online form and we’ll have someone personally reach out to you.
What do you charge?
Our fees are commission-based, and we tailor our services and our fee to best fit your needs and the work that we will complete on your behalf. There’s no one size fits all approach with our professional fees, as everything is customized to you and your property. For the vast majority of our projects, we will first talk with you about your needs, and your property, before completing a written proposal that will describe your options and any associated professional service fees. Typically, the initial consultation and proposal comes at no cost and with no obligation.
What sale method is best for my farm?
There are a multitude of factors that can influence whether a farm is better suited for a public auction, hybrid auction, fully virtual auction, one-chance sealed bid sale, or a private listing. Given the unique nature of every farm, the nuance from one local market to the next, and the sometimes unique sale objectives of most sellers, it’s important to use the right sale method to maximize the results of your sale.
The best advice we can offer is to seek out and find a professional farmland real estate agent. Talk to them about your farm, the characteristics of the local market where your farm is located, and your goals for a sale. Be sure to understand their depth of experience and the marketing reach of both the agent and firm you choose; this decision can greatly impact the outcome and ultimate success of a sale.
