- Use Case 1: You attend an auction and are aware of the sales information and would like to use that as a comparable sale ahead of the sales data being published
- Use Case 2: A sale appears incorrectly in CamoAg. For example, two farms that sold together appear as separate sales, or a parcel was split in the sale but appears as a single sale. You can copy the sale, make the necessary edits and use the updated sale as a comparable sale.
Copying the Sale
1
Navigate to the Map and enable the Farm Sales layer
2
Click on the auction or sale you want to copy, then click the Open Farm Details icon in the Selected Farm Sale panel
3
In the upper right of the farm sale page, click Options > Copy Sale to My Account
4
A green banner will confirm the farm sale was successfully copied and is viewable in the Farms dashboard. You can now edit the farm, the property and the sale price
Note: If the property was sold in multiple tracts, continue clicking Copy Sale to My Account until you have as many copies of the sale as tracts sold. Rename each copy to help identify the tract it represents, such as Acme Auctioneers - Tract 1, Acme Auctioneers - Tract 2, etc.
Editing the Property
1
On the copied sale, click the pencil icon below the map to edit the map. The Farm Builder panel will open on the Define Farm Boundary step
2
To add a parcel that sold with this farm, click on the parcel on the map, then click Add Parcel to Farm. To remove a parcel, for example when splitting a sale into tracts, click the trash can icon next to the parcel in the Farm Builder panel
3
If a parcel is highlighted with an acreage discrepancy, click on it. In the Parcel Details panel, choose how to resolve the mismatch: Use as Drawn, Scale to Record or Allow acreage mismatch, then click Confirm
4
Click Next. On the Create Fields step, resolve any acreage discrepancy for the fields the same way, then click Next
5
Review the Edit Field Details step and click Next, then click Save Farm on the Review step
6
Refresh the page, then click Options > View Farm Sale page. The price per acre will be recalculated based on the updated acreage
Editing the Sale Details
1
On the copied sale, click Options > Edit Farm Sale
2
Under Sale Details, update the Status if needed. For example, change the status from Draft to Sold for recently completed auctions
3
Enter or edit the Sold Price, choosing whether the price is $ Per Acre or Total Value, and the Date Sold. You have the option to enter additional information such as Deed Information and the Buyer(s) and Seller(s), but are not required to do so
4
Check the Farm Sale Preview, then click Save Farm Sale
5
The sale will now appear on the map with a blue marker, indicating it is one of your organization’s comps, and can be used as a comparable farm in a CMA
