How to Sell Your Cemetery Property

 

We are providing some detailed information regarding who we are, what we do, and what we charge so you can make an informed decision. The information is important as this is something you may not do everyday.  The first thing we always recommend is to have a conversation with the cemetery. We are putting the link 'Things to Know and Do' up first. You may already know some of the answers to these questions, but since you may not sell cemetery property every day; there may be some questions that you did not know to ask. You may be thinking 'Ugh! I have to speak to the cemetery?!" Yes. It is highly recommended that you do. You don't want to go through the expense and time of a listing, get to the transfer table, and find out there are issues with your paperwork or the cemetery never gave you permission to sell on the open market or you advertised one type of interment right when in actuality you have another type. For example - You advertise that you have 2 Double Depth Companion Grave Spaces when in fact you have 2 Single Grave Spaces that CAN be made Double Depth. There is a big difference between the two. You don't want to false advertise. This is just one example but we catch them every day of the week. Please do the upfront homework now. The answers to some of these questions makes your listing more powerful and may increase your buyer pool.     We are a national listing service that is an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau with an A+ Rating.  As a national listing service, we can list your property on our site to sell. We are not brokers. We do not buy property outright and we do not charge a commission when your property sells. We do not get involved with the actual negotiations, collection of funds or deed transfer. Only the cemetery can transfer the deed. Our website receives over 65K unique visitors a month. So in addition to listing your property on our site, we also post your listing to our social media. Your listing does not expire. It stays on our site until it sells. In fact, we will only take down your listing for one of three reasons:  You let us know your property has sold, You let us know that you are removing your property from the market, or lastly - we can no longer correspond with you. Please review our listing plans.
