Tools & Resources for Working with Farms with Commercial Agricultural Potential

Summary

This webpage (updated regularly) compiles resources to help real estate professionals better understand and serve commercial farm buyers. This resource was developed as a companion to Land For Good's course Tools and Resources for Working with Farms with Commercial Agricultural Potential. This training helps real estate licensees identify characteristics of the commercial farm buyer — plus how to reach them — identify and describe property characteristics important to the commercial farm buyer, introduce legal and tax issues of specific relevance to farms, identify farm financing options, and outline conservation easements and issues which need to be considered when selling farms that have existing conservation easements. In collaboration with the members of the New England Farm Link Collaborative, this course is offered at locations around our New England. Continuing Education credits are available in some states.
