Join me as I sit down with client Kristine as she tells the story of selling a vacant land parcel that had been in the family for a few decades. When the land was no longer suiting it's purpose and the tax burden became too large, the family looked to sell it to the right type of buyer.

I had the honor of helping Kristine's family sell, find the buyer and negotiate many of the moving parts over the course of a year.

If you would like a referral to a lender that understands the needs of a vacant land purchase, I'd be happy to pass on the names of some trusted individuals.
