@BuzzPatterson Prob pain meds

Damn, dude! Midday too.

Pro Tip: if you have any real estate in a trust, keep EVERY piece of paper having ANYTHING to do with ALL activities associated with it. Don’t depend on accountants, attorneys, financial planners, etc. to keep track of everything for you.

@realestatedude0 👍 …but you’ll miss out on so many of those “back on market” post opportunities that are so popular these days.

I typically never like to put a property pending till inspections are done.

Some before and after with dozer work on this timberland tract after the damaging ice storm a few weeks ago. I will be able to get buyers in and around the tract now.

Had dozer work going on 2 listings today that I had to check on. A little bit of dozer work can go a loooong way in selling timberland tracts by simply improving the access so buyers can get around and see all the cool spots.

@SimpleCRE Ain’t it the truth! Win-win works.

Some of the most miserable people I know are real estate investors who try to squeeze EVERY penny out of every transaction. They can't be happy if there is any money at all left on the table - even if they make an amazing profit. Sad.

Caller (no one I know): Do you ever get timber tracts that cutting the timber will pay for the whole thing? Me: Yes sir, we have but it’s not very common these days. Called: Will you please let me know about the next one you get? Me: No sir, one of my long-time clients or one of the investment groups I help will buy it first. Called: (long pause)…uh…ok. What do I need to do to get in on them? Me: Become a long-term client.

I’m pretty sure this is one of the people who’ve emailed me - and many other land brokers - over the last 15 years saying “I’m interested in this land. Send more info…”

Simple test to determine if your listing is really “a steal!”: If you are advertising it and posting it everywhere, it’s not.

USDA will fund $115.2M across eight states to boost sawmills and wood processing through TPEP. It will expand timber production by 25% and reduce wildfire risk. Link - tinyurl.com/j5s89mxf

On the phone today with someone just “…looking for a few acres for a home…” He asked why agents never stayed in touch with him. I spent 20 min giving him the answer to that question as well as helping him know how he could get better results. It was time well-spent, I think, and I now have a hand to hold (my decision to help him.) Many buyers just don’t get what goes into the “…help me find something…” projects.

@Chris_Smth In the land biz and dealing with sellers from all over the country I’ve learned to say the following: “Not every acre is created equal.”

How would you respond to this seller? "We don't need an agent. We already know what our house is worth because we checked Zillow. We want $750K." The identical house next door just sold for $585K. Go.

One of my guys just listed this camp on a nearby lake. Pretty nice view from the back, huh?

List, lust…it’s all the same I guess. 😎

@RolandGunnTN I’m too stupid to know what “ecological succession” is, but your overall take on land ownership is 👍. We lust a lot of tracts because owners are just fed up with trying to maintain things…especially as absentee owners.

People who have never owned land don’t really understand the upkeep involved in maintaining it at just a basic level, at least in the Southeast. Clearing downed trees, grading roads, bush-hogging etc. in the South if you don’t maintain land ecological succession comes quickly.

@jonbrooks It needs a “Remedial Price Enhancement”…or whatever the latest cringe-phrase-to-out-cringe-the-last-cringe-phrase is this month. 😎

If the house isn’t selling, it’s the price If the house isn’t selling, it’s the price If the house isn’t selling, it’s the price

Low key. Simple facts. No hype. This is the way, in my opinion.

And the 2nd one ✅

2 closings and a timber sale bid opening today. 1st closing ✅ Bid opening ✅ (but a little short of where we were hoping) 2nd closing - on the way now.
