slate. Your Member Broker will tailor a campaign appropriate for each listing that capitalizes on the American Farm + Ranch marketing resources. American Farm + Ranch utilizes all appropriate media resources to optimize the marketing of
properties for sale and to identify properties to buy. These resources
include print, website and other online advertising, SEO, social media, email
broadcasts, video placement, mapping, events and trade shows, and mining the
American Farm + Ranch database of buyers and sellers for appropriate leads. To sell premium-quality rural real estate, your broker must have the
depth of resources to reach an appropriate audience with interests
matching your property’s characteristics. AFR has marketing partnerships with industry partners allowing our Member Brokers to reach the clients of leading outdoor-oriented companies. As the “world becomes smaller” our marketing process capitalizes on the fact that many high-demographic consumers have international interests. While New York, Texas, California and Florida are influential markets, the
entire world has qualified investors eager to see premium properties.

In fact, American Farm + Ranch listings are presented on a
private international broker-only network reaching over 7,000
high demographic brokers in 60 countries and 19 languages.
MORE THAN LAND Auctions
The decision to auction property requires specific
knowledge and strategic analysis to evaluate whether or not bringing the property to auction is the best option for the seller. There are circumstances and properties that benefit from the finite timeline of the competitive auction process, and a correctly coordinated auction can be greatly beneficial for the seller. Our Member Broker network has
extensive auction experience and we advise and guide sellers through the strategic evaluation process. AFR has internal
auction capabilities as well as
affiliations with all reputable national auction organizations.

specialize in the rural and agricultural markets. The AFR network of CPA’s, investment and legal professionals are here to help you structure
tax-favorable transactions including tax deferral and estate planning strategies to maximize your financial goals.
Insurance Rural properties offer fabulous recreational and investment opportunities but many of these properties have unique and specialized insurance needs. Our Member Brokers have years of
experience with these matters and we will find you the insurance carrier and agent that has the
knowledge and expertise to properly insure your farm, ranch and recreational assets and manage the related liability exposure.
Farm + Ranch Management We understand that every rural landowner has different needs and objectives. Whether your focus is conservation or return on investment, the AFR team is here to assist you. With direct and
