hunting land: Selling Forest Land; A Success Story - 01/12/17 11:36 PM
These Mistakes Could Cost You a Forest Land Sale
A story about why a potentially valuable chunk of Forestland did not Sell, or nearly did not sell.
One thing that we have learned over the years is that some agents know how to sell forestland and others just don’t get it.
Those who don’t get it will price the property low to start with, put minimum effort into marketing the property, like posting it on the MLS and their own website, and then wonder why it is getting lots of traffic but not selling.
Recently one of these agents who … (12 comments)

Pic's from the Pond, part 1
About 15 years ago I was sitting in my Cadott office when it occurred to me that it would be very nice to have a duck pond in front of my office window.
So I talked to Bob Josephic, a friend from the Cadott Chamber of Commerce and my Lions club sponsor about getting one of his large excavators out to my place for a day of digging ponds.
After a day of digging I had my old barn foundation buried, and half a dozen ponds dug around the farm.
And as a bonus, … (3 comments)

Neglect of 270 Forest Acres Leads to a Million Dollar Loss
A friend recently introduced me to a friend of his who owns a half section (320 acres) in Western Wisconsin.
Both of these fellows seemed proud of the fact that in the 55 years that he owned this property he had been preserving the forest, never cutting anything and certain that it must be worth a fortune by now.
Then I had do my job and burst their bubble, and pull out my handy spreadsheet.
Just like a rental home that is ignored for 50 years, not only will … (9 comments)

A good Forest inventory and apppraisal will allow your seller to properly price and market the property both to investors and hunters who are looking to maximize their investment.  Wildlife habitat should also be incorporated into this appraisal as hunting and recreation is the number one reason for most forestland purchases in Wisconsin.
