Anyone ever put up a WANTED: 15-20ACRES type of ad in the local paper? I'm thinking of doing this and seeing if I can get some landowners to contact me with some parcels they may want to sell.
Anyone had any success with this or something similar?
I would think it would be looked at negatively if you don't have a client for it. A Bait and Switch ad if I ever saw one. Instead, you might try a direct mailing to land owners asking them for their business.
As an Exclusive Buyer's Agent, I have done this. I have clients in Arizona looking for a specific type of property here in Oregon. I put a "real estate wanted" ad on Craig's List and low and behold - a day later I had someone contact me about a property that fit the description.
It is worth a try, you have nothing to lose.
You might want to consider using a Exclusive Buyer's Agent in your search. They have access to information that will be helpful to you if you eventually do find a property. The sellers pay the fee, but you are represented fully by your buyer's agent and can rely on their expertise. Look into it, it's a very smart way to go.
I have done this only when I've had a particular buyer looking for something that I couldn't find any other way...Don't do it if you're just looking for a listing.
Hi,
I didnt post this in the real estate professionals forum cuz im not an agent. I'm an actual customer looking for land
There are many websites that you can list your wants on. DM me and I can give you a few websites if you like.
I think this may be more helpful than a newspaper classified.
Most people that own land and are looking to sell don't usually look in the newspaper.
Another option would be to narrow down to a couple of dozen parcels you are interested in and send them a letter.
When I was looking for land, I couldn't seem to find anything. I got in the car and drove around to find land I liked that wasn't for sale. I looked it up on the tax records and contacted the owner to see if they would be interested in selling. Sure enough, I found something for a decent price.
Good Luck TexasNick. and if it does not work out, give beckycat's suggestion a try. Sounds like a good one to me and is usually how we acquire large tracts of land for development.
