If you own a rural property, you will understand the differences that your home has from those in suburban or city areas and the unique features that the property has. You will understand its quirks and charm and the challenges that can come with owning a rural property.

When you do choose to sell your rural property, finding an agent that understands the distinctive market that your home is placed in is crucial to the success of the sale. Our agents can help you to find the best possible buyer at the right price for your property.

What are the unique selling points

You have lived in the property and the area for the duration of your home ownership and perhaps longer and will know the key features that will attract the right buyer. Your agent can also assist you with identifying these elements.

Think about what makes the property appealing, especially for those making a tree change from the style of the home and its inclusions to distance from amenities, the size of the property and the local wildlife. 

Allow time to prepare the home for sale

Given the size of a rural property, the time for preparation can be much longer than a property in the suburbs or city. There is more space in the home and the grounds are often much larger.

Allow time to prepare the home for sale including potential repairs or small renovations, cleaning and styling and landscaping of lawn and garden areas. If you have a property with older sheds and storage, it may also mean cleaning out these areas in preparation for sale.
