At Lori Jean Homes, our real estate dress for success outfit is jeans and boots so we can thoroughly check every aspect of the outbuildings with our buyers. We start by listening to what your needs are. How many horses, pets and other farm animals will you need to house? Do you also have humans in your herd? Buying a home for a family can be challenging, but add in several animals with very specific needs and the challenge is on. We cover most of Maryland for our farm buyers. We can also connect our buyers to USDA (sometimes with zero down payment) loans and first time home buyer programs to help finance your purchase.

Whether you are buying your first farm or selling and buying up to the next level we are here to help you find the right property and transition your herd. Download our Selling or Buying a Horse Farm or Large Acreage guide.

My team mate Brittnai and I like to think of ourselves as integrated. She is Western and I am English. Brittnai is a three time world qualifier in the National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) and I am more inclined to a fox hunt or trail ride in the great Patuxent River Park. From the outbuildings to the tack room, shower bay, stall doors, stall fans, feed buckets, well pump, electricity, and hay storage we know how to help you evaluate the property for your specific needs. The buyers for several of our most recent horse property sales have come from our networks so working with us can give you the inside scoop of a property that may not even be in the MLS yet.

Although the inspection for a farm is more involved, the overall process is the same for a farm as a home.

LORI JEAN HOMES 10 POINT HORSE FARM MARKETING PLAN
GETTING YOUR PROPETY READY TO LIST

Anyone who visits your farm already knows its location, but it is the story of your farm combined with the look, feel, and efficiency that will make a buyer want to own it. Knowing precisely what changes to make to the farm before you list is critical to increase your profit margin. Most farms are understandably a little rough around the edges, but they can be cleaned and sometimes get a few repairs to boost the value. I have a team of people who know how to get all the old feed buckets, broken pitchforks & wheel barrels into the dumpster. Then they scrape off every mud dauber wasp tunnel (you know you have them), do serious spider web removal, haul in fill dirt or sawdust, and rake it ever so neatly to put your barn in its best light. We won’t forget to super clean the tack room and possibly repair some small items. When a buyer comes to look at the barns they can visualize their own loved horses in your snug, clean barn.

STAGING

MLS & BEYOND

While the MLS is a powerful way to tell the world your farm is for sale it has limitations. The MLS doesn’t have searchable data entry for essential buildings on a horse property. Whereas a three car detached garage can become a relevant search result, a barn cannot.  Furthermore, neither the description write-up nor the photos are searchable data on the internet.  Therefore, unlike any other property,  marketing a horse farm cannot be limited to just the MLS. Besides general digital marketing, we market the horse property on several facebook sites that we ourselves frequent.  We also partner with local tack shops to promote their business among our buyers which they reciprocate by promoting our listings. 

We always hire high quality professional photographers who know how to convey the best aspects of your property. We use drone flyovers to show fencing, pastures, outbuildings, property boundaries, and land mass.
