Ins and outs of selling land yourself

Jim Adams
Posted

Hi there -- I have been jumping into land deals via tax liens and tax deeds. I have my first deed which I've now listed w/ a realtor because I don't really know the ins and outs of selling it myself. I'd like to be able to list it on Ebay and Craigslist, but I don't know the real tactical aspect of structuring the deal, making sure I get paid, how to transfer the title, etc.  I'd like to lean on the knowledge of the collective BP family vs paying a guru for their strategy and templates. Can someone point me to a blog or post somewhere with the step-by-step of how to sell vacant parcels. I am happy to share my strategy on how I find and research my deals and anything else I've learned in my real estate journey in return. Thanks in advance.

~~ Jim's wife, Kristina

    I would list via a flat rate agency for $100. It goes on MLS and offer 2.5% to selling agent

    In my experience it
    gets the word out there on realtor dot com etc and the selling agent takes care of most of it such as the offer contract, electronic signing, seller disclosures etc and you close with a title company 

    In my experience title company charges a lot less than real estate Attys
