You said you worked with local Realtors for two years, did you actually list the property with them so it reached the MLS? Did you list with a local company or a national company such as Re/Max? Was the property advertised on the internet with the company that listed the property? Michigan's economy is down, was it priced accordingly? Is there a home on the property now? Can one be built easily, does it have public water and public sewer available? Was it available for people to see on Realtor.com? All questions you should be asking your Realtor..... Good Luck!

Thanks, Loey, for your reply. Probably
my difficuties lie with asking too much.
Prices have certainly gone down the past few years.....I'm not sure whether he had it on Realtor.com. Am I allowed to list on there? He did have it on his company's website with a nice slide show of the woods. It can be divided into 2 building lots; maybe I should split it up....
You need to get more than one opinion from local Realtors. Plus, since it sounds like it is considered "vacation" property; you want a company that is national or international, so it reaches people outside of the local area. Is it near Grand Haven? I would be happy to refer you to at least two Realtors I know who are extremely familiar with that area. I would not split it up until you get more opinions. You might be spending money needlessly. Let me know!

It's half way between Harbor Springs and Mackinaw City and is considered resort/residential. The realtor I've had
has sold several other pieces for us over
the past 20 years. But maybe I should
consider another one. Thank you for your offer to refer a realtor, but isn't
Grand Haven too far away?
Yes, you are correct, Grand Haven is too far away. If this Realtor has sold properties for you before, then ask their opinion first, they will know best. It sounds like they have been in the business quite awhile and have knowledge of the area. The reasons properties do not sell are location, price and condition..... Just point blank ask them what they suggest.

Dear Seller in michigan.Try posting the property on craigs list.realtor1
I have always lived in the Indianapolis area but wanted to have a place on the water. I hope I am close to selling property I have that the has been approved for a small mall (20 acres). I had always thought of a warmer area but my wife wouldn't ever want to be that far from the kids (9) and grandchildren. In short I might have an interest if it would be possible to get some more detailed information about your property, such as, how close is the nearest road to your building site. Thanks
Hi, I am so glad that you joined this group.
It's tax time now and I would appreciate it,if you can tell me how to treat the inheritance of my mother's estate.
My mom passed away 8 years ago and last year,I decided to put the title in my name.
Last year I sold my land and got almost half of what it was the year when I changed the Title.
It was a small estate,involving a parcel of land.
Please tell me how to record it.
Thank you and anyone, that has any knowledge
Thank you and a
Have your tried Craigslist.com? That is a national free classified.
There is a real estate section there.
Thank you all for your responses. I will
look at craigslist.com and also give more
info about my property for anyone who
might be interested. But shall I do that
privately? Probably...so as not to make
this too "commercial."
Thanks again for your help everyone.
Julie
