16 Reasons – Dirt Into Dollars
- Dirt has no value today unless it’s sold.
- The money that comes from selling dirt can provide a lifetime’s worth of income for your family if invested properly.
- Holding on to land has the cost of lost opportunity. This lost opportunity is the loss of the income that could be generated if the money tied up in the land was invested in something that generated income.

Developers And Builders
- Developers and builders will never give you top dollar when buying directly from you as a For Sale By Owner.
- Think about this, the highest paid athletes use agents to get them big contracts…I do the same thing for land owners. I help them get bigger contracts than the can without representation. LeBron James has and agent, you should too!
- Developers and builders when buying directly from the land owner do not feel the pressure of knowing that the dirt is exposed to every land buyer on the planet. I expose your land globally to everyone looking for land. Including buyers that don’t know about your property!
- Developers and builders will always pay more when your property is listed on the MLS with a land specialist like me, because they know I am exposing your property daily to every buyer on the planet that is looking for land here!
- Land buyers and Builders and Developers will always pay more when they know if they don’t buy it someone else is may!
- Why do developers and builders always want to get to the owners of land before a property is listed with a great land agent like me? Because they know they have a better opportunity to take advantage of an unrepresented seller and get a better deal if they can buy direct. They know if they have to deal through me and your interests will be protected and they will be competing with other buyers to buy your land.
Inherited Property – Holding Land
- Families that inherit large assets often can’t agree as to what to do about the property.
- Bickering about inherited property can cause rifts in families that can sometimes can never be mended.
- Not every heir to a property has the same level of responsibility when it comes to paying taxes and the bills.
- One heir to a large asset that doesn’t pay his or her bills can often cause a family property to be encumbered by liens and judgements that can create financial burdens for other family members. (ex. Medical Bills, Taxes, Auto Repairs, Student Loans etc.)
- Tax Liens and Judgements are the biggest cause for families to lose their real estate fortunes. Too many times I’ve seen a families future destroyed this way.
- Dirt has never been in more demand than it is now! Builders and Developers are tripping over each other to buy land. Your time is now!
- We are approaching the top of the market, you can still sell before the market bubble pops again. The market bottom was 2010-12 and the experts agree that real estate market cycles run about 7 to 10 years. So we are simply over due for a correction!
