The Auctioneer Commissions for Selling Land with DreamDirt

All of our fees are always negotiable.  In fact, we guarantee the LOWEST fee for any competing and comparable service.  Our fee de-escalation policy allows our agents to beat any competing commission offer within our minimum commissions.  

When it comes to selling your land, getting the most value is of utmost importance; the cost of enlisting help from a professional auction company shouldn’t significantly lower your net income from the sale. This is why DreamDirt is committed to a commission structure that places value for our sellers at the top. After all, your land is your land, and partnering with an auctioneer should signify a fair trade of your land’s value for the value of our service. DreamDirt accommodates clients fairly with fees that reflect the value of not only your land, but your auctioneer’s experience, insurance, credibility, and marketing capabilities as well.  

Auctioneer Fee Offer and De-Escalation Minimums

All land and farm auction types receive the exact same advertising accelerated marketing package including inclusion on DreamDirt.com, our email blasts, newspaper ads, direct mail, radio ads, sale bills, external auction websites, realtor MLS & associated websites, specialized land search websites, (yes we advertise on any land website you can think of) signage, phone campaign, targeted postcards, organic and paid social media ads, paid and organic search engine ads.  All sellers will get a free drone video and professional photography of their farm.  If you are ready to talk about an auction call or text Jason Smith at 515-537-6633
