The Problem

“My client has land that must be sold!"

It has some improvements that are in various stages of completion (Or not). There are numerous other similar sites on the market. They range from pennies per foot to tens of thousands per acre. The zoning is a complete mystery to me. I feel like it’s written in Greek… and I’m supposed to understand and interpret it all. (Yeah, right!). I’m ultimately liable? (No Way!) They want it sold for the highest price and best value –NOW! (What am I going to do?)”

Now that the economy is improving real estate brokers are being bombarded with questions. Developments that were stopped in their tracks before the first shovel of dirt are probably outdated and useless. Half-finished projects have been sitting behind chain-linked fences rotting. Existing commercial and residential properties have languished as owners and managers have, by conscious decision or financial necessity, put off crucial maintenance and repairs.

What Now?

That is the question that is echoing throughout corporate, real estate and loan offices all around the country.
