Hello Everyone,

A friend of mine from church is looking to sell a piece of land that his father owns. His father is in his 80's and really need the money from the sale of the land to live on. My friend asked me to help with the sale of the property. I was wondering if anyone could recommend an inexpensive way to list the property online without someone taking a huge commission from the sale. The property is located on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and has state land right next to it that on one can build on. Thank you for everyone for any help you can provide.

Craigslist???  They have a real estate section.

I would suggest that although 3-6% for a realtor is a ton of money, depending on the agent and the region you can end up making enough more from the sale that it makes it very worthwhile.

 

I had a few experiences trying to sell houses myself, and ended up making a LOT more than I expected using a realtor (after giving up).
