5 THINGS YOU
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT A PREDEVELOPMENT SALE

1. Subdivision Regulations 🏡 Pre-development means the subdivision plat hasn’t been approved by the county. Why does that matter? You are buying a lot that doesn’t have the exact boundaries approved, nor the exact layout of the subdivision. Essentially you’re putting good money down….. on approximate land?

2. Roads 🛣️ Find out the plans and timetable for road implementation. How familiar is the developer with the county or city standards for roads? These entities will not accept the road if it doesn’t meet their specs - meaning you may not have legal access to your home until it is fixed.

3. Utilities💡 Have the local utility providers agreed to bring electric/water/sewer/internet in? How far? You wouldn’t want to get surprised by a big cost if utility providers aren’t on board with fronting development costs

4. Emergency Services 🚨 What about your 911 address? If these roads aren’t recognized by the county, will you be able to obtain a 911 address to your future home?

5. Mail ✉️ This seems small - but will you be able to get mail delivered to your home? Will the developer install community mailboxes? Or will you need to get a PO Box in town? Will UPS/FedEx deliver to your home?

Pre-development buying means placing a lot of trust in the developer. Could you get a good deal? Possibly. Or could you be stuck with land in a subdivision without county-approved roads and limited access? Also possible.

Do your homework. Protect your investment.

790 days.

That's how long this property had been listed by other brokers before I inherited it.

Needless to say, this seller was READY to stop paying property taxes and HOA dues on a lot he wasn't going to use.

And I'll be the first to admit, I had it listed the first time for a year with no traction.

But then something happened...after going over the recent sales, crunching numbers, and strategizing with my seller - we renewed the listing. 30 days later - SOLD!

My job is to sell your property for the highest price the market will support. I feel good saying this lot is now one of the highest priced sales in its comp range for TGR.

Non-AI descriptions (LOL), excellent drone photography by the guys at Markham, and real-life knowledge of what land buyers are looking for mattered.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.

If you’ve been thinking about jumping into the real estate market, give me a call.

And 263 Robinson Creek is SOLD!

Being asked to sell a listing after a previous agent was unable to is always a little tricky. About 9 times out of 10, the reason it didn't sell is due to price.

So, right off the bat, you are likely going to have to tell the seller they need to reduce in order to get it sold. Then, you're going to have to sell why your pricing and marketing strategy is better and you are the right person for the job.

Little stress-y 😬

Thankfully, this seller is very level headed, down to earth and easy to work with. We hit it off quickly with our Type A personalities, I suggested a lower listing price, and we were off to the races!

35 days on the market, 27 days contract to close! I'll take that everytime!
