I have 7 vacant, waterfront, large acreage lots: What do I do?
I am very excited that as a new agent I was able to list 7 properties in central Texas last Friday, but I have no idea what to do now. I have only been lisenced and practicing since December and so far I h.ave only done a few residential deals with low to middle price points. I generate all of my leads myself making cold calls including these 7 properties.
I definitely want to sell these properties and even though I'm nervous I won't be able to get them sold I really want this experience. I want to learn so any input would be appreciated.
So here's the deal: These properties are very large and vacant. Six of them are 20+ acres and the seventh is 53 acres. They are all build-ready with utilities, gas, water, wastewater, etc. and level. The owner called them "perfect for ranchettes." They are located within 30 minutes of downtown Austin and about 15 minutes from a small college town, San Marcos.
How do I get these sold? Where do I find buyers for this type of property? Should I try and find a developer or builder? I don't even know where to start.
3 for $695k
2 for $750k
1 for $899k
1 for $1.2 million
Wow. Do the comps support the prices? You might find a custom home builder looking for some lots. Search new construction on the MLS and you might find some builders.
Yep. The comps support these prices. I originally had 10 of them but his son-in-law bought one and his neighbor bought the other two, all three went for full price. It's amazing property. If I could afford it I would buy one myself.
DM me the addresses. My BIL is a builder and developer in the area. He may be interested.
Why don't you ask your broker for advice?
Of course I am asking my broker for advice but there is no such thing as too much advice in my opinion.
