Selling your farm

Anticipation, the key to succession

Selling a farm is a long and complex process that requires meticulous preparation. That’s why the team at Quatuor Transactions is here to help you at every stage of the process . 

After devoting your life to your farm, it’s natural to start thinking about its transfer. However, it is essential to start this process well before you decide to sell. Anticipating the sale of your farm is crucial, and it’s advisable to start thinking about it at least five years before you put it up for sale. 

At this stage, it’s vital to ask yourself the right questions to prepare effectively for the transfer of your farm. These questions will enable you to adapt your farm to your future needs and objectives. 

  • What investments should I or should I not make (e.g. should I invest in a robot 5 years before selling the farm? ) 
  • How should I manage my tax liabilities? 
  • Do I need to secure the land? 
  • Do I want to stay in my house? 

All these questions are crucial to the success of your transfer project. The Quatuor Transactions team is here to help you think through these issues. Thanks to their expertise and in-depth knowledge of the market, our negotiators can help you clarify your plans and define your objectives. 

Much more than just intermediaries, they are facilitators, advising and guiding you from the very start of your project, even if the sale of your farm will only take place at the end of a long process. Together, we’ll draw up a personalised action plan to help you pass on your farm in the best possible conditions. 

As part of this forward-looking approach, we advise you to test the market! As we did 20 years ago, be the first to act. Making an appointment with the negotiator in your sector will help you understand the current reality of the local market and anticipate future challenges. Anticipation is the key to success! 

Don’t forget that retirement can also mean passing on your assets. That’s why it’s essential to start family discussions about this transfer and, if necessary, to prepare for the arrival of a child on the farm. 

Your negotiator is there to support you every step of the way, because, as you will have realised, our mission goes far beyond just passing on your property.
