Steven Jack B.:                   Welcome to The Land Academy Show. I was gonna say ... Jill DeWitt:                          What were you gonna say? Steven Jack B.:                   I don't know. Jill DeWitt:                          Welcome to the- Steven Jack B.:                   Welcome to Thursday. Jill DeWitt:                          Oh, yeah. Steven Jack B.:                   It's The Land Academy Show entertaining land investment talk, I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWitt:                          It is entertaining and I am Jill DeWitt broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Steven Jack B.:                   Today Jill and I talk about how to sell a piece of land on the internet after you've bought it. Jill DeWitt:                          Can you imagine if what we were doing is if ... You know those guys that, and we all drive along the freeway and there's this poster on the ground. I wonder how many calls those guys actually get. You know what I mean? How often do you really- Steven Jack B.:                   The bandit signs? Jill DeWitt:                          No, the signs that for sale property. This parcel for sale. Steven Jack B.:                   Oh, like on the highway, highway? Jill DeWitt:                          Yeah. What's funny is, I would envision, it is low and here's my reasoning. Because I have sold numerous properties to truck drivers, and you would think that they wouldn't be, and I don't have any signs on anything right, so you would think that the truck drivers are looking for the land based on the signs. If anybody's gonna see it, it's gonna be a truck driver and they're gonna be buying it. Steven Jack B.:                   Yeah. Jill DeWitt:                          But I've sold a lot of land to truck drivers that, they just know the areas. Steven Jack B.:                   Oh. Jill DeWitt:                          Then they're online looking in the areas, and then they find us, so I question- Steven Jack B.:                   Oh. Jill DeWitt:                          How value those signs really are, number one. Number two, have you ever noticed how old and faded those signs are? Steven Jack B.:                   Yeah. Jill DeWitt:                          One says Broker ABC and his phone number and I wonder, "Has that been out there for four years?" Steven Jack B.:                   Or 40. Jill DeWitt:                          Right. Steven Jack B.:                   Because that's the ... You know before the internet, some of that stuff's been out there. Jill DeWitt:                          There you go too. So, anyway, I'm just proving my point as far as this is the way and the best place to do it. Steven Jack B.:                   The internet made all of this possible. Jill DeWitt:                          Yeah. Steven Jack B.:                   I was lucky enough to start in this business when the internet was getting its legs. Jill DeWitt:                          Yeah. Steven Jack B.:                   But for years and years decades and centuries, people had no way of the sell rural vacant land. Jill DeWitt:                          That's true. Steven Jack B.:                   Real estate agents didn't want to ... Before the internet, what are you gonna do, go out and look at the property? Jill DeWitt:                          Right. Steven Jack B.:                   Let's say you're ... there's just no way. This really created a market for vacant land. Jill DeWitt:                          You have to think of it like a retirement place or something. You can't, "Sweetheart, I've got it all ...," could you imagine they pull out a big map? Steven Jack B.:                   Yeah. Jill DeWitt:                          Sweetheart I have it all mapped out. Steven Jack B.
