Hunting Properties
December 5, 2007
Hunting properties are currently one of the hottest things on the market right now! I could just about write a book on why and how come. Bottom line is, they are hot! Naturally, you are looking for one. You have limited time to drive and look at a property, so you rely on the agent to tell you about it. He/she blows smoke up your skirt about how awesome this property is. You find out later after spending half a day and $50 of gas in travel to find it is simply a hay meadow without a tree or crick within a mile of it! Point blank: I don’t hunt. (because after years of trying I finally figured out that I couldn’t hit it after I got the chance!) But that doesn’t mean that I don’t know what makes and what is, a good hunting property! I grew up with it, I know it. AND, I will not blow smoke up you skirt about a piece of flat ground trying to make it into something it is not! Your time is valuable too! I am going to tell you the way it is. YOU definitely need to see and walk it, but you should have a pretty good “grip” on the property after talking with me. We generally try to get aerial photos of all our land properties. I have studied FSA photos since I was 9. I can tell a lot simply by the photo. But if I haven’t walked it, I will tell you! If I have walked it, I will tell you more. I don’t ever recall anyone telling me “it wasn’t what you told me!” I’m proud of that! Don Burford
