Green Acres Equipment FAQs.
Here are some of the most common questions from buyers and sellers considering working with Green Acres Equipment. Have a question not listed here?
We don't charge a fee to sell your equipment. We advertise, arrange showings and work with buyers at no cost to you. We put a modest markup on the price of your asset, which we only receive if we sell your asset.
It can range anywhere from a few days to a month or more, depending on demand, asking price, location and the condition of your equipment. We will work with you to create a compelling ad and set pricing based on comparable assets in the marketplace.
We handle the entire transaction from start to finish. We take photos, create the ad, set pricing, market to buyers using our Fourth Dimension â„¢ marketing system, coordinate showings, arrange for financing, get contracts signed, ensure the title is transferred correctly, schedule pickup and handle the bank wires. While we do need your help to provide certain types of information, we will take care of all the minor details so you can focus on running your business.
Once we have agreed on a sales price, the seller and buyer both sign our standard agreement and the funds are wired directly to Green Acres Equipment. We then immediately wire the proceeds directly into your account. Only after you've received payment, we will coordinate directly with the buyer to pick it up. For cash buyers, payment typically occurs within 24 hours of the contract being signed. For financed buyers, it may take between 1 to 3 days after the contract is signed for payment to occur.
We produce a far better return than using auction or selling to most dealers (average of 35% higher than auction prices). In addition, you can continue to run your equipment up until the day it's sold. We also offer programs where we can take your equipment to auction if it doesn't sell within a specified period of time (i.e. 45 days).
Yes. We offer financing through our business partner, Ryzen Capital, and our relationship with them makes the process flow very smoothly. Our rates are highly competitive and we can often help buyers who are unable to secure funding through their banks. You can fill out a credit application HERE
