Or, is there other typical arrangement when you work with realtors under this mode.

You can spend more money on photos and staging but those do not override market price either. 

That begins the final stage. 

.- would you stage?  

The arrangement seemed very complicated but the net effect was something with a payment structure that looks like a typical mortgage.  

I am looking for someone who may be interested in discussing taking over the current arrangement. 

. $3600 for a septic permit & design about 50k for sitework (very long driveway), though foresters have noted the potential for NRCS funding for road improvement and invasive species management (i.e. clearing the 8-acre area which has blackberry bushes galore) which we are in the very early stages of looking into. 

At this stage, I hope to have enough experience, and the network to be able to accurately estimate total expenses, allowing me to move towards bigger projects with bigger potential gains.Any advice on ways I can move forward with my goals?

Far too many get stuck in the "paralysis by analysis" stage, thinking they just don't know enough to get started.

You know big trophy ranch's and I have to think buyers that are buying 5 to 50 million dollar ranch's will not have a problem with a buyer broker arrangement It takes a ton of time and effort to sell those bad boys and its for sure a specialty niche.. you have to know a lot about Old western land laws  Water rights Timber rights Mineral rights you have to be very good with surveys and how to read USGS quad maps ( although google earth helps a lot) U have to understand hunting and fishing regs etc etc. .
