ARE YOU READY TO BUY?

Are you considering the purchase of an agricultural property – either for development, or to continue running as a farm? Would having someone with knowledge, experience, and integrity on your side make a difference?

We believe with over 20 years’ experience in farming real estate and agricultural taxes we understand exactly why each situation and transaction is unique. We use that insight to advise buyers and sellers, and to help them negotiate equitable arrangements that leave everyone at the bargaining table feeling good about the outcome.

Having grown up on a family farm, and having helped my parents liquidate their farm, I understand the issues that agricultural buyers and sellers face on a personal level. Patience, careful research, and detailed planning, is needed whether it is a purchase or sale.

WE BELIEVE IN
THE AGRICULTURE ADVANTAGE
When times are uncertain, farmland isn’t.

“We put it in Fred’s hands to look after and relied on his judgment and experience. We were very happy with the way Fred looked after us.”

When Bill and Val Pollock received an offer to buy the land near Chestermere that had been in their family since 1945, they had questions. Is the offer fair? Is now a good time to sell? What about the taxes?

What Bill Pollock didn’t know then was that his long-time agricultural tax specialist, Fred Mertz, was also a realtor with MaxWell Canyon Creek serving landowning families around Calgary. Fred began the process with a Discovery Day – an informal visit designed to clarify the issues, discuss what’s most important and lay the groundwork for doing the right thing for the client.

In the end, the Pollocks received a competitive price, and the sale proceeds were managed through a tax planning strategy Fred Mertz crafted for this unique situation.
