Question Help! Where's best place on internet to list farm for sale

We've been trying to sell our farm just off Lake Pomme De Terre in MO. I've listed on craigs list, lake house.com, & here. Money is tight so I need the most effective for the money that I can get. I've tried several places, get interest at first & then it all fizzles away. Does anyone have any experience? Sorry if this belongs in real estate, but there's more people here & thought you might know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody---Thanks for any help--Dayna J in MO

Around here any tillable ground that is sold is nearly always bought by a nearby big farmer or a Doctor in the County Seat. Many are sold by real estate Brokers who divides the farm up in several Homesteader size lots. They post ads in the local papers with maps of the farm showing how they devided it up. They hold an auction offering each lot individualy. Before the sale is ended they offer any combination of lots they might ask for and see if they will sell higher that way than individualy. Most often the ground all goes to one buyer, and the house with a few acres goes to someone else. You have to pay the broker/auctioneer for selling it, but their advertising and service most often is money well spent. The agent needs to be into the farm auction business, and not a local auctioneer who hasn't the experience nesesary to conduct a that will bring in the good buyers.
That's what gets the big bucks for ground around here, but it may be different in your area. UNK

Have you listed with realtor? If you google purchase farm you should get names of places that list them. Also, there's local For Sale by Owner and Buyafarm.

You got some really good advice in the Real Estate thread. Did you follow it ?

Make sure your new real estate agent is aggressive. from what you posted on the other thread your old one was not. Have you asked the new one how they will market the property? (what all they are going to do)

Try Landandfarm.com . It worked well for us.
