The Key to Land Brokerage:  Aggressive Marketing

Our brokerage company provides land buyers and sellers a degree of professional expertise unparalleled in the industry.  Korek Land Company, Inc. ("KLC") represents sellers on an exclusive basis.  Periodically, we represent buyers on a transactional basis.

KLC's "Database Network" includes thousands of buyers, sellers, investors and brokers of Southern California land.  We continually update our database to include virtually every buyer, seller and broker closing a land transaction in the nine county area of Southern California including Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties ("KLC's Territory").  We believe our aggressive tracking effort can identify virtually every active land buyer and seller through our Database Network or through one of our Database Network  broker/agent contacts.  KLC offices may not be located next to a listed property, but more important is our relationship with and access to the buyer community.

For outlying areas, KLC often shares listings with selected highly reputable local brokers/agents.  This shared listing system provides an on-site broker to furnish property tours while doubling up on local marketing efforts.

The Key to Land Analysis:  Experience

Our staff has extensive experience in the successful development of small parcels to master planned communities, the complete analysis of properties, the processing of zone changes, specific plans, general plans, E.I.R.'s, bond financing and development agreements.

We believe a company's integrity is as important as its knowledge and experience.  We are proud to point out that KLC operates under the highest ethical standards, as do the brokers/agents we share our listings with.  We encourage potential clients to contact our references - we come highly recommended and you will enjoy doing business with us.

LAND BROKERAGE

Top of Page

KLC's "Find Buyers Program" is unique to the Southern California land brokerage business.  This marketing program is designed to identify buyers that other organizations miss.

Most brokerage companies' attempts to sell land is diluted by their other offerings, such as income properties and homes.  Initially, most companies keep a listing "in-house" in hopes of retaining the total commission (i.e., not shared with another broker) and many others only post listings in the local multiple listing service.  These procedures tend to provide only minimal marketing coverage.

In contrast, KLC immediately distributes new listings to prospective buyers and brokers simultaneously.  The Find Buyers Program provides tremendous coverage and tends to generate multiple offers from which a seller may choose.

If another broker or agent wants to list your land, ask for a list of recent land transactions completed and a list of brokers and agents that he/she cooperates with. We will gladly provide you with our list.

The Find Buyers Program successfully operates in the following manner:

Database

Over the years, we have developed and refined the Database Network, which includes our extensive list of land developers, builders, investors, speculators, brokers and agents.

Marketing

Buyer's land requirements and the listed properties' characteristics are categorized to identify potential matches between buyers and properties.  KLC's auto fax/e-mail program, direct mail campaigns and direct phone contacts are utilized to attract buyers and sell properties.  We have the ability to put new listings in the hands of prospective buyers and brokers one day after listing.

DATABASE SUMMARY

Top of Page

The Database Network is continuously updated.  New land buyers, sellers and brokers are added while others who are out of the market are removed.  Currently, we have over 8,000 individuals and organizations in our network.  The Database Network includes:

Principals with Specific Purchase Requirements

Active principals who have on file an outline of their specific land requirements.  Principal buyer requirements are computer matched with available properties' characteristics so new listings can be properly presented to these buyers.

Recent Buyers and Sellers

New individuals and companies who have purchased or sold land in KLC's Territory during the last 12 months.

Active Land Brokers/Agents

Brokers/agents who are actively selling land are continuously updated.  Brokers/agents who are new to land sales are added to the database.

Miscellaneous Brokers/Agents

As properties are listed, our property information packages are distributed to real estate offices in the area where the property is located.  For example, when we list a property in Chino, brokers and agents in Chino, Chino Hills, Ontario and surrounding areas receive information outlining the available property.

LAND COMMENTARIES AND BULLETINS

Top of Page

On a regular basis we distribute "Commentaries" on current land related subjects.  Commentary subjects often summarize the results of recent court cases and/or new legislation, which effect land and land development.

"Bulletins" are distributed when an important issues arises.  Often Bulletins request taking some action such as contacting a state senator to show support of pending legislation.

WHY LIST EXCLUSIVELY?

Top of Page

Often sellers feel they can save money by attempting to sell land themselves or by telling one or several real estate agents that their property is available and letting several agents attempt to sell the property.  We truly believe this is not a wise decision.  Offering a property for sale by owner may produce offers from real estate agents, but this nonetheless involves a commission.  Even if the seller will only accept a net offer, one should realize the commission is always part of the purchase price whether it is deducted from the seller's proceeds or added to the buyer's costs.  When a buyer analyzes the purchase of a property, the commission is part of the cost, whoever pays it.  The purchase price either works with the commission or it does not work at all.

By not exclusively listing, but having several agents work on a property, each agent is competing with the other.  The first agent to get an offer signed has the best chance to earn a commission.  Whether an agent's buyer is reputable, financially able or if the offer really represents the seller's best interest all become secondary to having an offer accepted.  No one is truly representing the interests of the seller.

Another problem with this system is, because no broker has the property exclusively listed, no one correctly markets the property and presents it to the entire market.  Thus, the seller never really gets to see all possible offers and does not have the ability to choose the best offer from the best buyer.

By providing an exclusive listing to an experienced land broker, a seller then has someone representing his interests.  The broker now has the time and incentive to correctly market the property to all potential buyers and to other brokers.  The exclusive agent can, with the seller, analyze each offer and buyer and select the best  offer at the highest price with the most reputable buyer who will close the escrow.

An exclusive listing with an experienced reputable land brokerage company makes good sense.

When considering listing a parcel of land, request a list of land recently sold from all brokers you interview.  We believe no one will have a list as extensive as KLC's or the marketing capabilities we have.

The successful brokerage of land is our ONLY business.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Top of Page

KLC works closely with The Wildlands Conservancy.  This exceptional low profile organization preserves open space, which they open to the public.  They also spend their own funds to transport, feed and house disadvantaged children on their properties so they can experience the beauty of California open space.  Many of the children who participate in this program have never been out of their own congested neighborhoods.  It is difficult to describe the children's reactions to the wildlands.

Unlike many other conservancy groups, The Wildlands Conservancy respects an individual's property rights and a property owner's right to develop their own property.  The Conservancy is privately funded through donations.  For more detailed information about the Conservancy and  How You Can Make A Difference, click here.
