A conservation seller is a seller of real estate who appreciates and wants to protect and enhance the scenic, historic, agricultural, and natural resource values of a property who will work with a local conservation organization to protect these values with a conservation easement or by selling the property to a buyer who will protect these values with a conservation easement once purchased.

Many sellers of conservation land do not want sell their property on the open market and within traditional real estate networks because they want to ensure the land will not be harmed by uncaring buyers looking for quick profits.  We share the same conservation goal as the seller and we aim to please.  Sellers of conservation land will prosper from our effective and knowledgeable marketing programs, active and growing database of qualified conservation buyers, and our ability to help preserve important properties for the future quickly and reliably. Frontline Conservation will work with the conservation seller to understand the conservation values of the property and to develop a marketing plan for the property.

Frontline Conservation and the conservation seller sign an Exclusive Right to Sell Contract, giving Frontline Conservation the ability to move freely and confidently as it implements its marketing plan for the property.  This contract helps manage the buyers market and attracts desirable, willing and able conservation-minded buyers to the table.  Frontline Conservation will use all of its resources to sell the listed property for the seller at a fair and reasonable market price to a suitable conservation buyer.  In the case that a conservation buyer is not found for the property during the listing period, Frontline Conservation will either reevaluate the conservation values of the property and its marketing strategy, or may open the property up to the Multiple Listing Service and other traditional advertising mediums to try and find a new conservation-minded buyer currently not in our database.  The Seller will have to make the final decision as to whether the property should be sold on the open market as inherent risks will increase as more buyers, some of which may not be conservation-minded, are allowed to make offers on the property.

Frontline Conservation’s strict adherence to it’s Conservation Code of Ethics creates a unique marketing niche for Frontline Conservation’s services and gives the conservation seller the opportunity to not only maximize their ability to sell the property for a premium price, but also preserve the property for future generations.
