Jill Friday - Why AirTable is Imperative when Buying and Selling Land (LA 1742)

Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill K DeWit:

Hello.

Steven Jack Butala:

Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land, investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from the valley of the sun.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today. Jill and I, well, it's Jill Friday. Today she's going to talk about why Air Table is imperative when buying and selling land. Before you get into it, though, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free. Back in the day, it was nearly impossible to find land without a mailing address, which is almost all of the property that we buy. To solve this, we now access a live database by assessor's parcel number, APN, to find property instead of its actual address, like 123 Main Street. Like all of our products, we've developed it for our own use and then released it to the public on a website. In this case, we call it neighborscoop.com. It's incredibly easy to use, almost all of our members use it to find property very, very quickly. In fact, fast enough while you're on the phone with the seller to see if you want to buy it. Contact [email protected] to see if it's for you.

David wrote, can anyone give me any advice on setting up my website as it pertains to land acquisitions for a new land company with no land. I'm a beginning Land Academy member. Anyone know of a web developer with you have used that I could work with. I'm sure that that was all over Discord with a bunch of people sharing tips, right?

Steven Jack Butala:

It was slammed. By setting up a website, the real reason you want to set up a website very quickly is because, when you send a mailer out, you're going to have your website on there. The first thing that people are going to do, just check you out on the internet to see if you're for real. You want a great website all set up, maybe one or two pages at most. Nothing complicated that says, I'm Jack. This is my girl, Jill, here's our dog, here's a new car we just bought. We're real people, just like you. Call us. We'll buy your property.

Jill K DeWit:

Cool.

Steven Jack Butala:

Real, simple stuff and really inexpensive.

Jill K DeWit:

Thank you for not bringing up the color palette. I thought since it's Jill Friday, you want to talk about the color palette.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today's Jill Friday. She's going to talk about why Air Table's imperative when buying and selling land. This is the meat of the show.

Jill K DeWit:

Here's the scoop. We are aggressively hiring right now because, yep, we're growing again. It just happens and not just Land Academy, but land business growing our numbers are... I just can't keep up. We're building it and, this is a little side note. If you are in the Scottsdale Arizona area and you want to work for us, send a note to support@landacademy.

Steven Jack Butala:

Seriously.

Jill K DeWit:

I'm not kidding. All right, got that out of the way. But the point is, we've been meeting with our team, our hiring team right now and talking about what we want and the right kind of people and who is successful working with us. One of the common themes is how much... We have realized a direct correlation to our successful staff members, if they are organized and they have a great system. So it's not just everything that we do every day, but also our land business.

Jill K DeWit:

Let me bring this down to what this show is right here. So much of my, and our success in just our day to day buying and selling in land, is in a direct relationship to how organized we are. The only way we could do that is having a system. We use Air Table, but there's Jura. There's all kinds of great things out there. But having that system, where six people can log in at the same time and only focus on what specific task is needed of them,
