Jonathan Rawles (my #1 Son) has announced that he has set aside his other career and will now be devoting all of his time to SurvivalRealty.com, and related ventures. This means that he will be able to greatly expand the number of listed properties and have properties listed in the majority of the 50 States. He also plans to make the website a more comprehensive source of information for preparedness-minded families who are planning to relocate. I’ve encouraged Jonathan to write a regular column for SurvivalBlog on retreats and relocation topics. He has already co-authored one book with me (Survival Retreats and Relocation), and he plans to write and publish more.
If you are a listing agent or broker, please consider advertising any of your rural farm, ranch, or timberland properties on SurvivalRealty.com. Especially during a declining market with tightening credit, Jonathan will be able to bring you either fully qualified buyers or cash buyers. Properties that are remote, off-grid, with limited access, or that have any non-code conforming buildings sell remarkably well through SurvivalRealty.com. Dozens of times, Jonathan has found buyers for properties that were so remote or so far from grid power that the listing agents had nearly given up on making a sale. This is because SurvivalRealty.com buyers are folks who “think outside the box”.
If you have any retreat-worthy land or a house on acreage that you want to subdivide or sell in its entirety, either through a listing agent or “for sale by owner” you can advertise it very inexpensively, on SurvivalRealty.com. No sales commissions are charged! Because it is a property advertising site rather than a brokerage or agency — you will get 100% of the proceeds. Keep in mind that even houses on city lots with fallout shelters or self-sufficiency features are considered “retreat-worthy.”
If you are looking for a retreat property, or know a friend, relative, or co-worker that is, then please keep SurvivalRealty.com bookmarked and check the site often. Since launching the SurvivalRealty website in 2007, Jonathan has had a great track record of matching buyers and sellers.
Lastly, if you are a private equity lender who would like to finance large-scale retreat communities or even just single-family retreat buyers, then let Jonathan know. Several of the large properties that Jonathan has listed would be suitable for subdivision. And he has extensive contacts with agents and brokers who know of many more suitable farms and ranches, particularly in the South and throughout the West.
Thanks for your help in expanding SurvivalRealty.com!
P.S.: Here are three new listings at the site, as examples of what you will find there:
