Why You Shouldn’t Do This Alone
Who’s On Your Team? Why It Matters When Selling the Farm
Selling the family farm is one of the most significant decisions you’ll ever make. It’s more than a transaction. It’s a legacy transfer. It reflects years, even generations, of hard work. Often, it’s an emotional journey. That’s why it’s essential to have a qualified team by your side. The right professionals and a team effort really matter.
Who’s On Your Team?
Successfully selling farmland requires expertise across multiple disciplines. Here are the key players you need:
Certified Public Accountant (CPA): Ensures you understand the tax implications and helps you plan for capital gains, estate taxes, and agricultural tax breaks.
Attorney: Navigates legal complexities, reviews contracts, handles easements, leases, and ensures compliance with all regulations.
Qualified Intermediary (QI): Facilitates 1031 exchanges, allowing you to defer capital gains taxes when reinvesting in new property.
Estate Planner: Helps align the sale with your long-term legacy and family goals, ensuring your wishes are honored for future generations.
DST Provider: Advises on Delaware Statutory Trusts, a tool for reinvestment and income diversification after a sale.
Real Estate Agent (Specialized in Farmland): Markets your property, negotiates on your behalf, and brings deep knowledge of rural land values, buyer networks, and transaction management.
Why a Team Approach Matters
No single person can master every aspect of a farmland sale. Each professional brings specialized knowledge that protects your interests and maximizes your outcome:
Legal and financial safeguards: Avoid costly errors and ensure every detail is addressed.
Strategic marketing: Attract the right buyers and achieve the best possible price with targeted strategies and wide-reaching networks.
Smooth, efficient process: Coordinated experts anticipate and resolve issues before they become problems, reducing stress and delays.
Legacy protection: Estate and tax planning ensure your family’s future is secure, not just your immediate proceeds.
