Did you procure the proper building permits?

I own some property that a developer would like to develop on. The developer is interested in some other land that I have found, my question is what is the best way to lock up the land so someone cant get into the pro...

You will actually enter into an agreement to purchase each individual property for an agreed upon price, with a lengthly option period to procure a buyer and make sure you have the right to assign the contract. 

You need to assess your own situation in both regards to assess your ability to procure funds. 

You have Turnkey companies that are fully vertically integrated you have Marketing companies that rep various Turnkey companies and they work as a RE agent would work.. making a commission if they are the procuring cause of the sale.

It is called "Procuring cause" The information they gave you is what initially started the chain reaction that ended in the purchase. 

If that broker was the procuring cause of any sale within that time periodor after the listing expires, they can demand a commission (usually rare for several reasons, but they can).You flat fee broker can call that listing broker and make acceptable arrangements for any commission, usually, but some full service brokers tend not to be very accomodating with flat fee types, IMO.You should ask the flat fee broker and see what they recommend, so long as you approach the new broker about the listing, that would be fine.

A bird dog simply finds a lead and sell the lead or wait for the deal to close to get a fee.The bird dog doesn't negotiate for someone nor is the bird dog a procuring factor of the deal.

You could also procure a licensed contractor to take a look and he should have an idea of the permits he would need to get based on the work needed to be done.

Did the agent procure you as a potential buyer?
