Why I sell Real Estate

My Niche

What is my niche? A tough question for me to answer but I will give it a shot. I have found that I really enjoy working with land. Any type of land! I love going out and looking at the views and the potential that piece of land holds. I am not sure that is because I am a rancher and I love to see my cows out in the pasture or if I just like land but regardless that is what I put the most effort into.

I think one aspect that sets me apart from other agents is I am always willing to learn. I enjoy taking classes and talking to the older more seasoned agents to get their advice and wisdom. I research a lot on many of the parcels of land for sale in my area and I enjoy driving by them and seeing what my clients might see. With land in my area there are a lot of regulations regarding the water and usage depending on the area it is in. To water livestock out of a domestic well you must have 35 acres or more. There are some parcels that already have a domestic well that are smaller and those are grandfathered in. You need to watch which water shed you are in and if any water district can force you to drill a deeper well.

Marketing. I am struggling a little bit in this department but with my repeat clientele if I see something I think they would want to look at I send it to them and call them about it. For my land listings, I do up flyers and put the listings on the Lands of America website. I also am working on getting my ACL. Which has been a goal of mine for a while. Some days I do get discouraged with marketing since everything I do seems to backfire. But I am always willing to try something new.

I Love being outside! I have a hard time working indoors so much more fun to enjoy the mountains outside!

I love helping people! I enjoy seeing the reactions of my clients when I show them a property. Whether it is the view or a tree on the property or even a house when they find something they love their reaction shows. It brings me much satisfaction to see clients happy!

Making the Most of a Modest Space

While some people who are selling their home think a small kitchen is a negative, there are several ways that you can make it stand out and appeal to potential buyers: Light it up. Darkness can often make smaller rooms feel even more cramped. To open the room up to more light, consider removing all curtains from windows and instead install recessed blinds. You still get the privacy factor, while also allowing your kitchen to have a brighter feel. Keep the counters tidy. Many people have things strewn about their kitchen counters and cabinets. Think about keeping your counter tops clear of all items, including photos, papers and even appliances, to make it seem like the room is larger than it truly is. Brighten the walls. Sellers should consider making the tone of the wall color in the kitchen brighter. Lighter colors tend to open up a room. They are also much more inviting, enticing potential buyers. Mounted appliances. Sellers may want to consider mounti...
