In every state, the basic education to become a licensed real estate salesperson is the same. Every person seeking to obtain a license to sell real estate must complete a pre-licensing course. Once the pre-license course is completed, potential licensees must pass the state real estate license examination. Real estate agents who go on to specialize in land sales regularly encounter a number of issues that agents who work in the residential home sector rarely face when selling a home. Land agents must be armed with the knowledge, tools, and have the time needed to ensure quality service and a smooth transaction for their client.
There are several agent specialties and subgroups in the real estate industry, and each specialist can help you with different situations. Rural landowners need to choose an agent and a company that can market and sell their rural property in a way that meets the sellers’ objectives. Listing your timberland, recreational land, ranch or farm with a predominantly residential real estate agent can be a mistake. Pat Porter, with RecLand Realty, shares some questions you should ask that will help you choose a professional who can help you get the deal closed.
