Those of you who sell raw land will understand this post! I have a beautiful and unique 38-acre tract of land that I am marketing. Selling raw, undeveloped land can be seen as boring, difficult to sell, and challenging to market effectively. For me, I find the opportunity to use lots of creativity to sell and market these types of tracts.
Yesterday, I walked the tract with a potential investor and while walking with him, despite the heat, the tall weeds, the rough terrain, and the high humidity, I found so much beauty everywhere I turned. The picture of the wild purple flowers sprouting out of the rocky soil reminded me of how fortunate I am that I get to earn a living by taking a walk in nature. I was also reminded to take a moment here and there to stop and smell the roses (or cacti).
But, there are a few tips to remember when you are out, showing undeveloped property.
🥾 Boots - you truly do need good, boots on the ground! In Texas, snake boots are a must when walking the rough, rocky, property. Mud boots are required for the boggy sites. Also, make sure your boots are non-slip!
🥾Proper Clothing - Even though it is hot, long pants and long sleeves are encouraged to prevent scrapes, insect bites, and of course, the blazing sun. I prefer wearing the light-weight, fishing-type clothing.
🥾 Water - No doubt, having plenty of water is essential. I like to plan for at least 2-3 bottles per person. Sometimes the water is used to simply douse our heads or the back of our necks.
🥾 First Aid Kit - Keep this in your vehicle at all times. You never know when the unexpected incident happens. Make sure you keep your kit up-to-date with unexpired items.
🥾 Fully-charged Phone - This goes without saying but alas, things happen. Before heading out into the wild blue yonder - double-check to ensure your phone is fully charged.
Don't we have the coolest job in the world? We get to go on nature hikes for a living! But don't forget to take in the beauty that is around you! Here are a few more pictures from this unique property.
