[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are in the Yorktown district, I think you should put up a sign in the front yard, tell all of your friends, tell the neighbors, your kids friends parents, etc, and then get a real estate attorney to draw up the contract.

Word will get out that your lot is for sale and you will have a very good idea of the true market value based on the offers you are receiving.  Builders will be fighting for the lot and you'll also have individuals who are looking to buy their own lot and then hire their own builder.

You'll have 10 offers to choose from and then you can go back and start negotiating.

Don't get a realtor and don't accept the first builder offer.  Good luck![/quote]

I agree with all of this, but I would add one thing.  If there are particular higher end builders that like your neighborhood and have built several homes, give them a call directly.  Once a good builder has a reputation in a neighborhood, they like to build more homes nearby.  Usually it's because of referrals, but often because they know that the neighborhood is friendly to what they do.  They already have an idea if there are crazy neighbors, etc.[/quote]
