About the Author

Cheryl began her real estate career in 2001, she started in residential sales and quickly became passionate about lots and land, but still engages in home sales to stay connected with the residential market. Throughout her career, she encountered many residential agents/brokers, investors, and landowners who simply did not understand the land aspects of real estate. Often the residential real estate professionals believed, and were told "land deals are too complicated and difficult to understand'. Many were told to just "refer it to the land guy in the office". But she realized they just didn't know what they didn't know, and no one was teaching it to them, and so this book was born. It is Cheryl's way of helping others learn, in a short amount of time what took her years to learn. Her goal is to make this information easy to read and understand in order to gain the basic knowledge needed to engage in lots and land transactions. After all, most houses sit on land, shouldn't we know as much about that property as possible? We owe it to our clients. Step out of your box and learn what you need to. You might become the next "land guy or lady in the office". Do real good things today!

I read some reviews that criticized this book pretty much for being extremely beginner friendly. I find those reviews to be absolutely ridiculous!!!! Like anything in life that one doesn't know you have to learn and the author of this book does a great job of teaching from the perspective of one not already knowing all there is to know about land. As someone considering becoming a land investor, I found this book to be extremely helpful in educating me on all the things to look for and consider when buying land. While reading this book I couldn't help but think how I wish I had known much of the information already during my purchase of land a few years ago. Luckily my purchase turned out well but with the knowledge I now have, my next land purchase will not be left up to chance. I highly recommend this book...FIVE STARS!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As a new Realtor I've wanted to specialize in land and development since becoming licensed. I believe this is a step in the right direction for anyone looking to get a basic understanding of the process of evaluating and purchasing raw land or lots to build on. This book covers the specific things you must do to get the ball rolling and can help investor and Realtors alike in making an educated decision on whether or not a possible opportunity is an actual deal or not. It gives you a solid foundation on which to expand your knowledge base and start your career in the land business.

This book contains a wealth of information for the average person not so well versed in all things real estate. Regardless, should you be looking to buy, or looking to sell property, this book has tons of useful information that can make that process much easier to be aware of and understand.

Great book on the issues to think through and watch out for when buying land for any purpose. Did a wonderful job of explaining concepts in surveying, title, transfer and other relevant areas. Her writing style was fun and folksie. Southern Belle to say the least. I will keep this book as a reference
