Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our civilization.

– Preamble to the CODE OF ETHICS and STANDARDS OF PRACTICE of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®

When you get a land listing as a commercial real estate agent, it’s important that you actively market the listing several times per week on behalf of your seller client to find the right buyer.

And if you believe that all you need is a sign to sell your land, then there wouldn’t be a need for commercial real estate agents…would you agree?

This is the same cold call prospecting script I use to market my vacant land listings and meet more business owners and developers with commercial real estate needs.
