Hunting Properties

December 5, 2007

logo-jlre-sm-emboss.jpgHunting 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
