Remember, one acre is 43,560 square feet. 60 acres is going to be 2,613,600 square feet or a square lot that is roughly 1,616.65 feet long x 1,616.65 feet wide. Something this size, you wouldn’t notice the 0.65 of a foot one way or the other, which could make the lot either slightly larger or smaller then 60 acres "exactly".

When you buy the property, a title insurance policy should be obtained and they will give you a plat map showing the boundaries of the lot. The exact measurements on file with the county will show the exact size. Additionally, you can have a surveyor come in and re-measure before closing escrow.

Good luck

There are two ways to sell your home: by going through a realtor and by doing it yourself. The do it yourself method is also known as for sale by owner. As with anything that requires professional assistance, selling your home with the aid of a realtor is going to cost you. On the flip side however, selling your home for sale by owner can also cost you, but not as much.

The choice comes down to the question of what you would most like to save, time or money. If utilizing a realtor you will save yourself some time but not necessarily loads of time because there is a level of involvement that you must maintain in order to pick out the best deal for your specific situation. If selling your home for sale by owner, you will indeed save yourself loads of money because the only thing you are paying for out of pocket is the cost of your advertisement methods.

Selling your home through a realtor can be not only an expensive method but also a difficult selection process when trying to decide which real estate agency to go through. Once this decision is made, you must now work with the realtor to negotiate your terms and conditions for the sale of your home.

The realtor is paid according to the final selling price of your home. A commission of anywhere from 1 to 3 percent is charged at the closing. It goes without saying in this situation that a benefit of for sale by owner, selling without the aid of a realtor is one of cost. Simply put, you get to keep the proceeds of selling your home if you do it yourself.

Although real estate agencies gain exposure in the world of potential homebuyers by the use of their companys name, your for sale by owner home does not get individual exposure on the level that would be given to it if you were to do your own advertising. A for sale sign does indeed go in the yard of your home with the name of the agent as well as the agency and a contact phone number, but this is comparable to placing a for sale by owner sign with the same information, sans the agency name.

The remainder of the process involves the home being listed in what is known as the MLS, or Multiple Listing Service. This is a long list of homes being offered for sale by numerous real estate agencies. Once again, your for sale by owner home will not be given the specific exposure it could be given if you were to do your own advertising.

The true benefit of selling your home for sale by owner versus utilizing a real estate agency is the control factor. You are in complete and total control of the entire transaction from start to finish. This is often the most necessary factor in selling. With yourself in the proverbial drivers seat, you are free to advertise in the way you see fit and to use the method you see fit. You are also free to keep all profits from the final sale, and this is usually enough to reassure the seller that the for sale by owner route is the right path to take.

But your best bet is to built a network of people you want to work with in your own area and one of these people should be an agent that is willing to go to bat for you,

they can likely search and set up automated searcehs for you that will send you properties by email, keep in mind that you will have to set some parameter on what it is that you are looking for, and asking for all the good deals, is not possible..

In my little town of Victoria BC canada, we get well over 100 new and or updated listings each and everyday, just imagine the number of listings that are entered all over the continent, ther is no way that you can determine what is a good deal with out spending time on each property, individually, so it is up to you to determine what exactly it is that fits your specific criteria, and locations, then it may be possible to create some sort of raw search that will send you a lot of duds, and very few golden nuggets, but that is part of the process.

But with patience, and most importantly a great network of likeminded people you can find the nuggets and do your thing

Good Luck
