We had been thinking about the possibility of selling the farm and relocating. A few months ago we met with a realtor from this area. Our goal was to put some feelers out to see what it might be worth on the market. The agent came out and went around the property. He stated that he thought we would be pleasantly surprised at the value. We did not disclose the figures we were thinking at that time. He said that he could get a coworker who knew more about land to give a basic appraisal, not an official one. When he came back with his co worker, it soon turned strange, she floated a number range that was below what it was actually appraised at over 25 years ago. Since that time, many improvements have been made. We let them know that we were not interested in any further business with them. Our area is within 25 miles of the state's second largest city, and a mile from a bypass that is developing. Land is selling in the area, and said to be in demand. We were told the other day by a friend that if anybody was in the notion of selling that they better price it pretty high cause if they didnt it would be gone before you realized it if it wasn't priced high enough. It seemed like she was trying to lower our expectations before we ever talked value, and then really seemed defensive when we questioned her number suggestion. They didn't even make an effort to get our business back just completely dismissed it. I wonder if they thought they could buy and flip it and make more than listing and selling it and getting the commission? What is grazing land going for in y'alls areas?
