Farmland Auction Commission Rates

We sell all types of land via auction or private listing.  Our company and team are advanced land auctioneers.  We aren’t the typical “do anything for a buck auctioneers”. Land sales is our sole business and we are good at it.  We are licensed to sell real estate in Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota.  We offer our marketing services through real estate broker and partner auctioneers in Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ohio and Indiana.  

With many years in the industry, we’ve received a wide array of questions from potential clients. We find that most of our clients’ initial question is, “What do you charge for an auctioneer commission?” We realize the importance of this question when selecting an auctioneer for the sale of your farm. In this blog, you’ll learn about DreamDirt’s auctioneer commissions to sell a farm, farmland real estate and even farm equipment or machinery for you!

First, to be completely fair and avoid any confusion or ambiguity, DreamDirt charges commission only. No hidden fees, period! We do not charge closing fees, advertising fees, or per bid fees. Because of this, our auction commission is much more of a value to our customers. In fact, many times our farmland auctioneer commission is the most competitive in the market for these services. Additionally, DreamDirt is not a general auctioneer; rather, we are a specialized farm and land auction company. Thus, the resources you are getting from paying us commission allows us to take the measures necessary to maximize the value of your land.

Now, there certainly is no pressure to utilize this method, but when clients elect to use our real estate services, live auctions or online auction platform there are many benefits. We feel they not only are using an optimal environment for the most aggressive bidding, but also they are eliminating additional expenses that come with other companies that charge marketing and administrative fees. Clients using our online farmland auction platform will find we are able to charge an even lower commission (for an equal, if not better auction experience) without the added expenses of venue, printed material, refreshments and travel..

Typically, we charge commission as a percentage of a sale; but, we can also set up commission structures with caps on them or with just a basic flat fee. Our commission is negotiable and always based on what we are asked to deliver.  We want our clients to feel comfortable and understand what they are paying for. More importantly, we want our commission to be a fair representation of what we deliver and not a windfall. Our main goal is for our clients to realize MORE value from paying a commission and we believe that paying experienced auctioneers will result in a higher net to the seller even after paying commission. We believe our commission also helps relieve sellers of stress and ensures that your farm auction is done RIGHT. The easiest way to explain it is this: think of paying commission sort of like paying for insurance. You get a piece of mind that all the bases are covered and, in the end, you walk away satisfied everything is proper and there are no lingering concerns or fears.
