Whenever people tell me they are looking for land I get involved with a passion. I love to show land because of the views you get traveling around the Ozarks seeing all the natural beauty. There is land you can farm, land for grazing, timber land, residential lots, ranchland, upland, bottomland, wasteland, land with live water, waterfront land, waterview land etc.
The more questions I have asked, the better picture of what type of land is wanted. Even though that helps tremendously, you still need to see a lot of land before you can really get a picture of their need.
Showing houses is a lot like showing land but there are only some many available that will fit the kind of criteria most search questions help narrow your choices down to. True, there may be several that are close but I find I can get closer to knowing what to show people sooner when dealing with house hunting than looking for land. Yes, I do enjoy helping people find the home they really are looking for and find it very rewarding and fulfilling when they say they have fallen in love with this house. Mission accomplished and usually in less time that I would expect after showing several that did not seem close.
But it just never goes that way with land hunting and the hunt is what I enjoy, which is probably why I love searching for the parcel my clients have pictured in their mind the most, because it really is the most challenging. We will look for two or three times longer for a piece of ground that is just what my clients want than for a house they have pictured in their minds. Every land search takes that much longer and is that much more challenging in my opinion. Knowing the challenge it presents and the hunt involved must get the "old hunter" going in me and makes my ears perk up every time I hear, "We are looking for some land" Yahoo, here we go again, around the Missouri Ozarks on my rounds.

Ann, thank you so much, what a wild game that was, and you are right, I love and enjoy the Ozarks!
Hi Steve, as someone who sells lots in LA I loved your description of Love to Sell Land. My nickname in LA is "The Landman" so with that I pass it on to you:)))
Endre, I knew we hit it off right away for a reason, now I know why, we are landmen at heart.
I know almost nothing about buying or selling land, plus I don't believe I've ever seen the Ozarks. Well, except for driving down the Interstate. I'm going to watch your blog to see if I can learn more.
Elizabeth, of all the Elizabeths I know, you are one of my favorites:) Flattery will get you everything, thanks for making me smile again, you are the best.
Hi Steve,
I am a vacation home owner in Branson mo. I to fell in love with the Ozarks. I have 4 vacation home rentals in Branson and plan to build more. This is an exciting time in Branson. I am sure you understand that the recent changes with the Stone County P&Z can have a huge impact on future home sales. Vacation rental homes can increase home values and create much needed tax revinue.
I am curently looking to purchase some land in Barry County. My realitor is working hard trying to find a local bank I can work with. I also have 2 vacation rentals for sale in Branson. If you know of someone who may be interested let me know.
If you have time take a look at my web page at www.brnsonvacationlakehomes.com .
It is good to here others enjoy the Ozarks as much as I do. Keep in touch.
David
