Specialty land: Moses Lake agent specializes in complex ag land sales
MOSES LAKE — When it comes to real estate, agricultural sales are unique in what consumers have to consider. Things have changed since Anna Van Diest, farm specialist and broker with Basin Ag Sales, an extension of Moses Lake Realty Group, began dealing in farmland 15 years ago. “At the time, there just weren’t very many farm sales,” Van Diest said. “You know, most farmers purchased property they were already leasing, or they had established relationships with landlords, (or) they’d sell to their neighbor. They knew everybody in the community, and that’s who they sold to.” Today, Van Diest said, the business has changed.
