May the "Find the Right Buyer Force" be with me.

I'm hoping that I can make a happy merger between two common sayings.

On one hand we have the real estate truism, "Location, Location, Location." If you have been in this business for any length of time, you know it's true.

On the other hand we have folk wisdom expressing the view that "It takes all kinds". That's also true as all of us who have worked the floor and the phones can verify. One person's honey is vinegar to someone else.

The reason I need to merge these sayings is that I've got some great listings for acreage that are both literally and figuratively "all over the map".

High Traffic Sites

I just know my Highway 101 frontage parcels require buyers with business interests that require public attention. For our wine country location in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, the most logical buyers would be wineries or vineyard operations. Another great possibility would be one of the many high quality vineyard management operations already working or just getting started here. It's no secret that farming grapes is a lot of work and a highly specialized task. A frontage location for a vineyard management operation would be a great way for a new entrant to get known or for a known busines to cement their reputation with a vintage location.

Another high visibility possibility is to look for someone from the equestrian community in Sonoma County. It's a diverse group with interest ranging from endurance events to showing, quarter horses to thoroughbreds (Sebastopol's great Cavonnier finished second in the 1996 Kentucky Derby). It's an active and numerous community. The current owner of the property has made horse-oriented improvements including a great barn and stable setup. There are plenty of professional horse trainers and serious amateurs who might like a visible operation with great access to the freeway and side roads.

Country Estate Sites

On the "it takes all kinds" conundrum, I've also got some wonderful acreage that's too rugged for farming or grazing, but perfect for residential estates. Great views, wonderful park like setting, and both fixer houses or tear down and start over dwellings. These are as quiet and private as the other ones are public. I know that no  single client is going to be interested in both types of property, but my marketing as a whole can't leave one or the other out. So, I blog about them, post them on the internet where I can, and try to find the special buyers who will each love the one they want with their whole being.

If any of you out of area agents have buyers looking for a wine country life near Healdsburg, please refer them to me and I'll take good care of them
