Selling Your Franklin TN Home on Acreage

Selling Your Franklin TN Home on AcreageSelling your Franklin TN home on acreage is not like selling a home located in a neighborhood or subdivision. Selling acreage homes requires more work on the part of your listing agent. To begin with, there are a limited number of home buyers looking for acreage. Additionally, many of these buyers will change their minds once they see the work involved in caring for these properties.

Marketing your Franklin acreage home to these buyers requires some special expertise. Many of these buyers will be relocating from other areas of the country. Given that our multiple listing service limits our property descriptions to 250 letters/characters makes it difficult to share all the wonderful things about your property so buyers can find it.

As a listing agent to acreage sellers and acreage homeowners ourselves, we understand the many unique features these properties possess. Too many features to be accurately communicated within the context of a few words provided in our multiple listing service.

Choosing the right listing agent to sell your Franklin TN home on acreage is crucial. Here are some of the common mistakes we see agents make when listing acreage properties:

  1. Pricing: Finding exact comparable properties is often difficult. That's because properties may include horse barns, hay barns, outbuildings or souped up garage spaces. The properties aren't an exact match to each other; unlike the homes found in Franklin neighborhoods. Agents often price these homes without learning essential details. Homes should be professionally measured. Since buyers will look at per square foot price, this measurement should be accurate. Outbuildings or barns should also be measured and provide details such as whether they are equipped with running water or electricity. Homes with large detached garage spaces or woodworking shops should also provide details about the size and square footage of the space. If there is a bonus space above these buildings include details such as if it's unfinished or finished with heating and air conditioning. A finished space above a garage cannot be included in the square footage if it's not properly insulated or heated and cooled. A property condition disclosure and sub-surface permit for septic should be completed prior to listing your home. If you have additional rooms that you are using as bedrooms but your home is only perked for three bedrooms, you can only list it as a three bedroom home. Proof of your septic permit must be submitted to the buyers. That can be easily obtained from Williamson County. Provide a plat of survey as well. Completing your due diligence ahead of time will lead to a smoother selling process and aid in determining the actual value of your home.
  2. Condition: While buyers may be attracted to a home with acreage, the condition of the home will still matter. Homes that are 15 years or more old without recent updates or improvements will sell for less than those that have renovated their kitchens and baths. Buyers are willing to overlook the age, if a home is priced right for its condition. Additionally, the age and condition of major components such as the roof, septic and HVAC units may affect your acreage home's value. Keeping accurate maintenance records can also improve the chances of selling your Franklin home on acreage. Sellers who have not made renovations should expect their homes to sell for less than those built within the last 10 years or with upgrades complete.
  3. Selling Your Franklin TN Home on AcreagePhotography: Professional photography is a must for acreage properties. Our local multiple listing service only allows 20 photographs to be displayed. It's hard to include all the buildings and spaces your acreage property provides with so few pictures. Professional photography with 50 to 60 photos should be provided by every agent listing acreage properties. Franklin Homes Realty LLC provides a single-property website with a minimum of 50 photos of your home, acreage and buildings, in addition to aerial photography. The use of Drone photography for acreage properties is a must. This is especially important when attracting buyers who may not be familiar with the area.
  4. Marketing: Many buyers are moving here from other parts of the country. They are attracted to the laid-back lifestyle and the opportunity to own homes on acreage in Franklin TN. Most agents don't know how to market acreage homes to a global market. Yes, selling real estate has become a national, even international, sales market. Many agents don't know how to market your home to buyers hundreds, possibly thousands, of miles away. That's where our expertise in blogging and social media comes in handy. We know how to get your Franklin TN acreage home in front of buyers. Ninety-two percent of home buyers begin their search online. We have learned how to use keyword search phrases to attract buyers to specific properties. In all likelihood, that's how you found this page. You Googled "selling my Franklin TN home with acreage" and our page ranked highly in the Google searches. That's the same kind of thing we can do for your property. This can't be mastered overnight. It takes a skilled agent who has been using this method for years--one whom Google already recognizes as an authority on Franklin real estate. For example, not all acreage is suited to having horses. Those particular properties need to be marketed to a very specific buyer. Conversely, not all buyers want horse properties and may want heavily wooded properties providing privacy. We know how to market each type of property to that specific buyer. Ask your agent how he would distinguish between those two types of properties? Every property has features that will be unique to that property. Finding an agent who knows how to market that feature is key to a quicker sale for more money.

Don't trust the sale of your Franklin TN home on acreage to just any agent. Call the agents who not only live on acreage but also know how to sell it.
