Exeter Farm and Ranch Real Estate, From Groves to Grazing Land

A grove or a ranch is worth what its water, soil, trees and improvements allow it to produce, and none of those can be judged by the acreage figure alone. Real Estate Agent Exeter represents growers, farm families and investors in the purchase and sale of citrus groves, orchards, open farm ground and ranch land throughout this part of Tulare County, where the valley's citrus belt meets the foothills. You work with a licensed California real estate agent who begins with the questions that most influence value. Where does the water come from, and what do the well records, pump tests and any irrigation district service show? What do current and expected groundwater rules suggest for the years ahead? What is the age and variety of the trees, and how has the property produced? Is there frost protection equipment, and in what condition? Does a Williamson Act contract apply, and how would it affect the new owner? How is the land zoned, and is access recorded? Sellers who assemble these records early tend to attract more confident buyers, and buyers who investigate them during the contingency period avoid learning the answers after closing.
