Farm Real Estate

Farmland For Sale in Iowa

Unique Farm Brokerage Service

A successful land sale always begins with a thorough understanding of the local market and a thorough understanding of the property to be sold. With one of the largest, analyzed, land sale databases in Iowa, our strong appraisal background offers a level of predictability and realistic expectations to potential sellers that is fairly unique to the farm brokerage business.

We offer broker coordinated, broker supervised closings (we don't believe in delegating this important function to a closing agent. The majority of our closings are held in our newly remodeled, home office conference room.)

Closing Follow-up: We maintain contact with many of our seller and buyer friends, years after closing, if we can be of service.

Traditional Listing vs. Auction

Unlike many of our competitors, we do not automatically recommend an auction method of sale. At Smith Land Service Co. in Atlantic, IA we will research the potential sale property and sale property area first before making a sale method recommendation. Assured local competition and/or higher quality land are pre-requisites for guaranteed auction results, which can be pretty exciting. However, the fact is Iowa land varies significantly in land quality and land use and some types of farms simply do not auction well. At Smith Land Service Co., we like to offer choices with pros and cons of each method and let the client decide, depending on his or her risk orientation. Our goal for each and every land sale transaction is to maximize the net dollars to the seller in the most efficient, professional manner possible.
