    Default Do you dislike selling land/lots?

    I've heard that real estate agents don't like to sell land or lots because they take forever to sell. Is that true?

    If it is, does that give potential buyers more negotiation power, or are the properties already normally discounted such that there is no extra negotiation room?

    Some agents specialize in land or lots. I do not dislike selling land, lots, houses, homes, condos, townhomes, mobile homes, commercial real estate, etc etc etc! So to answer your question: NO. Not all agents dislike selling land and not all like selling land. Some love it, some hate it. Every agent is different.

    That being said, I have seen agents list land that you know the agent never walked and probably did not get out of their car to take a picture. heck sometimes there isn't even a picture of the land, not that a serious buyer can really tell much about a tract of land from a picture. A serious buyer is going to want to see the tract of land in person.

    There is not a discount built in to any of the land I have listed just because it is land. The list price is based upon recently sold comparable tracts of land. You should make your offers based upon the price of comparable properties that recently sold.

    Well maybe its true, im not in the position to claim anything. All i can say is that all an agent needs to have is profer connection, an interesting product, good sales talk and the right person to perform your talking.

    Real estate agents do love selling properties for this is where they get their compensation. Besides being an agent will allow you to grow through referrals and word of mouth.
