Living and working here in the high desert of Mohave County, Golden Valley, AZ as a rural land specialist, I have my own unique tools of the trade for especially placing real estate signs on rural vacant land parcels.
During my first several years in listing vacant land properties, my go to tool was a mallet for pounding in the signs. I must admit this was difficult work given the ground here in NW AZ is close to concrete. Between the hardness of the dirt, the rocks, pounding in signs, often I was physically exhausted.
Then I saw on Facebook, a real estate agent who appeared to be working in the city used a drill with an auger bit to drill pilot holes. My Swedish brain went “Duh” why hadn’t I thought of that?
The next day, my husband and I traveled to one of our favorite stores, Home Depot, and purchased a battery operated drill with an auger bit. This purchase was a time changer.
What previously had taken me 10 minutes or more to pound in real estate for sale signs or directional signs, now is around 5 minutes or less. Better yet, I no longer feel physically exhausted.
Possibly the lack of tools by some real estate agents explains why they do not place signs on a vacant land parcel. Given how much vacant land there is here in Mohave County, potential buyers have no idea where one lot beings and ends.
Yes, listing vacant land parcels here in Golden Valley, AZ and elsewhere in Mohave County is a lot of fun. Traveling the dirt roads that sometimes are more like cow trails reminds me of what the early settlers had to content with. Then having wildlife nearby watching you just adds more enjoyment to the day.
P.S. Please consider checking out my Facebook business page, The Grit and Gratitude Agent that will focus on the Dirt Roads in Mohave County as well local real estate, lots of dirt or vacant land parcels as some of the local attractions.
