WELCOME
Hi, I'm Deda. Thank you for reaching out to us.
When it comes time to begin a new chapter, the very idea of selling can feel overwhelming. For many, youâve loved and tended the farm, enjoyed your home with family and friends, spent untold hours in the barn where your passion for animals grew beyond your wildest dreams, or you practically lived in your equine facility, where your passion, knowledge, and talent flourished and were shared. For others, it may mean parting ways with a childhood home, or the house in the country where parents retired and memorable holidays were spent. And a good number of potential sellers are empty nesters with an empty barn and a large property to maintain.
How are we different than other real estate agencies? We KNOW âregularâ real estate like everyone else, but we also KNOW, UNDERSTAND, and VALUE the investments youâve made that added ease of operation, and defined your life as a horse owner (or horse parent), a farmer, large or small, or a country home lover. Each of us here came from a âregularâ real estate background long ago, but excellent service to select clients like you is our true passion and has been since 2002. Weâve never looked back! From establishing market value to finding the right buyers, negotiating the best terms for you & creating a smooth closing process, this information will be your guide.

Comparative Market Analysis
A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) will be completed after my first visit. Depending on the property, it may take a bit of time if it is complex, such as a facility or commercial farm. The CMA will show you what has sold, and what is selling (and not selling) in your market at the moment. Active listings tell you what your competition is at that moment in time. This data will be run again just before listing if 30 days have gone by.
I will ask you questions about your goals and will answer your questions and concerns as they may relate to a sale. Please take a moment to think about those things before we meet so to ensure we make the best use of our time. Letâs address the most important issues to you at the onset.
A few things to think about before we meet...
What is your moving timeline? What do you hope to net from your sale? What concerns do you have about listing?
Write these things down before we meet so we can talk through all the details!

Comparable Data Analysis Sales
Sales provide real proof of the value of similar properties as long as they are armâs length transactions between two willing parties. Pending sales provide a snapshot of what is happening in the now. Days on market, price (original or reduced) point to buyer activity and their preferences.
Under Contract
Competing (Active)
These listings would compete if marketed now. Market dynamics such as supply and demand, and economic indicators play a crucial role in determining how quickly real estate sells and at what price, making the real estate market a constantly shifting landscape for both buyers and sellers.
If you are listing more than 30 days from receipt of your CMA, this data will be updated.
Why Hire Farms & Barns?
When selling a New Hampshire horse property, facility, working farm, or country home, having me and Farms & Barns on your side is a gamechanger. We bring a wealth of experience, both professional and personal, and excellent listing expertise to the table.
When it comes time to take your likely largest asset to market, it's vital to have an agent with the knowledge to accurately present, represent, and promote your listing. Your property isnât cookie-cutter real estate. Your agent has to understand everything it has to offer as well as the potential it offers buyers.
We take your property and its attributes and: 1) Compile the factual data, like taxes, rooms & baths, square footage, and outbuildings to supply buyers with the tangible details; 2) Highlight your propertyâs special features correctly, a talent that is paramount to attracting the right buyers, the ones who will see value in those features; 3) And just as important, we provide emotional details that make buyers genuinely want to consider your property as âthe one for themâ. Even practical buyers make emotional decisions when it comes to real estate. Only then is your listing ready to be introduced to the world!
Exposure? Through our NETWORK of fellow RealtorsÂź via MLS, your wellpresented listing is available to all real estate agents, RealtorÂź and nonRealtorÂź members. There is power in numbers. More agents, more potential buyers for you.
Why Farms & Barns Con't.....
Exposure. Social media and subscription emails are our largest immediate drivers for listing exposure now. Your listing, and/or video clips and reels of it, will be promoted on all social pages within a day or two of the public listing. Our loyal social media fans spread the good word faster and wider than we could do alone. We have a long list of website subscribers impatiently waiting for that perfect property to come on the market. We deliver new listings to their inboxes first, generating interest out of the gate.
Online paid advertising is a boon, too. We pay for the high placement our clientsâ properties deserve on sites specific to horse, farm, and fine country life. The results of these efforts can be amazing.
Print advertising also has its place. Not only do we utilize high-end magazines in print, but your listing hits those publishersâ websites as well, further promoting your property.
While we personalize our marketing approach, we systemize our approach to paperwork, ensuring you always know what's coming next. When we meet again, whether in person or virtually, details of our marketing strategies will be shared.
