Sounds like you have some very stupid clients. you are exactly right, people are naive, and uneducated why not make money on that. im sure you are just trying to educate people for the sake of helping them. Habitat improvements are never used as a sales pitch. They don't have anything to do with every single penny you are trying to exploit. Your just a salesman out there trying to help people.
Haha realators are the biggest slime there is. You are no exception. I've seen your sale's pitches on wolf and bear infested land, you market as whitetail paradise. Crooked!
Since you Decided to solve the worlds problems, what do you do exactly? I know you like to lie and try to sell land up north for an inflated price. Are you a wanna be whitetail properties or mossy oak properties? Do you tell potiental sellers your knowledge and skill will be well worth your increased commission? Buyers-you are a big buck hunter yourself, and you know this place is the place to kill a big buck? Please enlighten me since we are all improving our lives.
I knew you'd post something just like this in response to what I said.
A father who wants an opportunity to spend time with his kids, and get into hunting, but is not an "expert" like you is not a "stupid client". They want to have a place of their own, make memories, , something for his kids to do other than sitting in front of a TV playing video games, spend some time in god's country, and have a reason to get away from work. What is so wrong with me helping that guy find what he is looking for?
As for inflated prices, sellers set the list price 95% of the time.
As for increased commission, we charge 6%, WP does 8 or 9%.
As for me being a wannabe WP or MOP guy, I had a third interview scheduled with Whitetail Properties right after I graduated from college a year and a half ago. During that process I was offered to go to work for Weiss Realty, I called Whitetail Properties and told them I was withdrawing my application. Weiss has a much larger presence in my area, and that's why I chose to go with them. Wouldn't change my decision at all. We are the local guys, and have built a solid reputation.
A lot of my clients in Northern Wisconsin shot bigger bucks than I saw you post up this year. Give them food and quality cover and you have the opportunity to harvest some pretty damn nice bucks in Northern Wisconsin. Is it my first choice of where to hunt? No, but there are a lot of people who shoot some good bucks consistently up there. I'd rather hunt a lot of the properties I have listed in Northern Wisconsin than your overpopulated farm where you can't get a tree to grow.
As for the reason I sell hunting land. The best relationships I have built over my lifetime have been with people who enjoy hunting as much as I do. The memories I have made with friends and family while hunting are far more important than any buck I've ever shot. I shot a 130" buck on public land in Duluth MN my sophomore year of college. My 4 roommates and I tracked him together in the dark, and we went and celebrated how college kids do. It was a Tuesday night, and none of us went to class on Wednesday. That's what it's about, sharing those memories with others, because they don't happen nearly enough. I see fellow hunters as some of the best people out there, and to have an opportunity to surround myself with people like that on a daily basis would provide me with a very gratifying career, and I know Dipper won't believe me but it's not about the money. I want to help enable people to create the same kind of memories, I have been fortunate enough to make, with their friends and family. At the end of the day it's about friends and family, period.
