MONTH'S TOPIC:
Where to begin?
Take these six steps!
Step #1 – Become Informed!
Your first step is to become informed. Finding, buying, and owning
mountain land is quite a bit different from purchasing a home and
lot in the city. Just by reading this and other articles on our
website, you’re taking the first step! When you’re ready
to proceed, call or Email for an appointment to begin your search.
Step #2 – Analyze Your Objectives
Why are you considering a land purchase? What is your timetable?
How much land would you like? What are the financial resources you
are willing to commit to the purchase? Do you have a favorite area
or location in mind? How will you know when you find the right property?
You should write out the answers to these questions, and if two
or more people are involved in making the decision, share your answers
and discuss until agreement is reached on each item. Without a firm
commitment on the part of all decision-makers to proceed, the search
will be futile.
Step #3 – Make A Commitment To Yourself
Once you’ve answered the questions and agreed on the answers,
it’s time for a personal commitment – that you are ready,
willing, and financially able to make a purchase. When you can make
that commitment, you are ready to take the next step. Until then,
you may still have some planning to do. Buying a large land tract
is not a casual event - when you are ready, we’ll be delighted
to help you make it happen!
Step #4 – Come To The Mountains
Chances are, you’re not likely to go to the Internet, look
at property photos, and then declare, “I’ll take the
big green mountain! Put it on my credit card!” So . . . plan
a trip to the mountains. To get a good look at large properties
requires some time – as much as 1-3 hours per property. Remember,
they aren’t all side-by-side on the same street. Properties
to be seen may be scattered over several counties. Plan your trip
when you have the time to make land your priority, not just a side
trip.
Step #5 – Make An Appointment In
Advance
When planning your trip, please email or call for an appointment
giving as much advance notice as possible. A discussion of your
objectives can be easily covered in a phone call, making it possible
to identify specific properties to be inspected during your trip.
Keep in mind that while holiday weekends are a favorite with buyers,
only a limited number of appointments can be scheduled.
Step #6 – Bring Your Checkbook
Sure – why not? You can improve your buying power with sellers
in two ways: offer a large earnest money deposit and a substantial
down payment. Money talks! Use yours to make your purchase work
once you’ve made your decision. No, we’re not going
to lock the car doors until you buy – that’s not the
way we work. We’re confident that when you see the right property,
you’ll recognize it. All we ask is that you be prepared to
buy when that time comes.
