Brokers & Auction Companies

Every listing you take to market is competing for the same buyers. The ones that win are the ones that answer more questions and bring more value. SoilFax gives your listings something most cannot offer: documentation that will help both the buyer and the seller.

Buyers who close on ground with documented excess fertility averaging $1,700 per acre may be eligible for a Section 180 deduction in the year of purchase. When your listing comes with that documentation already in hand, buyers arrive more informed, more confident, and ready to act. Deals move faster. And you walk away having delivered more value on both sides of the transaction.

Strengthen your reputatuion

Documented excess soil fertility averaging $1,700 per acre could make buyers eligible for a Section 180 tax deduction in the year of purchase. Sellers benefit from faster, smoother closings, and buyers gain real tax value from day one.

This doesn't only apply to future deals, but past ones as well. If you have brokered a deal on farm ground in the last 3 years the buyers may still qualify.

By bringing this insight to your clients, you’re not just facilitating deals; you’re strengthening your reputation as a knowledgeable, forward-thinking advisor who continues to deliver value long after the sale is complete.

What the Report Includes

A NUMBER BEHIND THE LISTING PRICE

Documented excess fertility gives your seller something most listings never have: a defensible asset value the buyer can see, verify, and act on.

DATA THAT MOVES BUYERS OFF THE FENCE

Independent lab results covering every macro and micronutrient remove the unknowns that slow decisions. Buyers from a wider geography can evaluate the ground before they ever set foot on it.

A TAX ADVANTAGE READY AT CLOSING

Your buyer receives everything their CPA needs to pursue a Section 180 deduction in the year of purchase, averaging $1,700 per acre. That is a reason to close, not a reason to wait.

FIELD-READY MAPS AND SHAPEFILES

Variable rate application data and LiDAR hydrology maps hand directly to the buyers day one.

A CLEANER TRANSACTION FOR ALL PARTIES

Proper documentation of soil value supports accurate allocation at closing and gives CPAs, attorneys, and estate planners the data they need to do their job without coming back to you with questions.

RECORDS THAT HOLD UP

Every sample, lab result, and valuation methodology is retained by SoilFax. If an audit arises or a tax professional has questions after closing, the documentation is there. Your clients are covered and so are you.
