Sell a Farm in Agassiz & Kent
Selling an Agassiz or Kent farm means marketing productive Fraser Valley dairy, berry and forage land in a rural community where water, ALR status and — for dairy — quota arrangements define value. Agassiz and Kent's buyer pool is production-led: dairy and forage operators consolidating land, berry growers on suitable soils and lifestyle buyers seeking rural character. A premium price depends on documented water, ALR status and quota clarity.

Selling a farm in Agassiz & Kent — common questions
What adds the most value when selling an Agassiz or Kent farm?
Documented water rights, clear ALR status, and — for dairy or poultry — clarified quota arrangements. Agassiz and Kent's production-led buyer pool scrutinises these because the land is productive and the buyer pool is sophisticated. Resolving ALR applications and organising water and quota documentation before listing is often the single highest-value step a seller can take.
Should I sell my Agassiz dairy quota with the farm?
Dairy quota is a separate asset administered under supply management, and whether it is included is a seller's decision in negotiation. Some sellers transfer quota with the real estate; others sell it separately. Clarify the arrangement in writing early, because a buyer's financing and the transaction structure often depend on it. This is not legal or financial advice — consult the relevant supply-management body and qualified professionals.
How does selling in Agassiz and Kent compare to Abbotsford?
Agassiz and Kent are smaller and more rural than Abbotsford, with a narrower but production-focused buyer pool. Abbotsford has a deeper, more sophisticated buyer pool and more uniformly high-capability soil. In both, documenting water, ALR status and quota is central — but Agassiz and Kent's smaller scale means a well-documented property stands out more.
