Greetings RLI Members
  
Disclose, disclose, disclose is drummed into our heads constituently. Even though we are lovers of Land and Land transactions, I'd venture to guess that probably all of us sale a home once in a while.

The Greatest Experience Of My Professional Lifetime...Teaching about Land
 
One off the greatest experience of my professional lifetime has been to teach the Realtors Land Institute's "Land 101" class.  For the last sixteen years, I have specialized in Land and Farms sales in the beautiful Piedmont Foothills of the North Carolina and the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains. Throughout this time I had the opportunity to also develop thirty-four rural subdivisions ranging from four lots to thirty-eight tracts.
