James Harvey, Principal of Sternbeck's Real Estate says activity around the sale and purchase of rural property also shifts a gear as the warmer months set in but the proposition to successfully market rural opportunities requires a much different process.
Sellers looking to put their rural property on the market should start by ensuring they make the right choice of agent.
"Selling rural property is not the same as selling a residential property and requires consideration of innumerable factors when presenting and brokering a sale," stated Mr Harvey.
The knowledge and experience of the real estate agent engaged to look after the sale of a rural property is paramount for receiving the best possible sale.
Agents need to recognise and have knowledge of the factors that each property possesses so that it can be best represented to potential buyers.
"In our local area, if your agent doesn't know basic information such as; carrying capacity, soil type and structure, water rights and allocations, seasonal factors, planning and rural use options, rural contractor and service suppliers and the like, then maybe that agent is not right for the job,"
"From our perspective, highlighting the benefits of using an agent who is experienced in rural selling is extremely important,"
"Exposure of rural property through select mediums is also very important for reaching the right buyers, this is something that our team at Sternbeck's Real Estate know very well."
Sternbeck's Real Estate has a long, proven history as rural property specialists.
As Stock and Station Agents they are qualified to look after rural properties of all varieties be they livestock, broad acre enterprises, vineyards or hobby farms.
Add to this list the larger commercial operations of wineries, restaurants and tourist accommodation, Sternbeck's can provide a service for all types of vendors to best highlight and promote their property.
With Spring upon us and the recent rainfall delivering a little flush of colour to paddocks, crops and even into dams, it is a perfect time to promote rural living and lifestyle options.
Mr Harvey urges those considering selling to take advantage of the excellent conditions and the high level of interest in rural properties across the Hunter Valley at the moment.
