Seems so corporate. I definitely see the benefits of it, but you're right that with the money you'd pay someone to sit there, you could do some really innovative advertising campaigns with that money. Guess you could always ask yourself, what would Jason do? ;) Never understood the whole agent on site idea anyway. Seems so corporate.

What we've found is that people in West Sacramento tend to convey (although only one person used this quote - but one actually did), "I guess West Sacramento really *is* coming along with you here," while many people coming from "over the river" approach with caution and trepidation. Then again, that may be because movies are showing in what otherwise looks like an abandoned building :) But there really is a bit of a stigma that seems to exist that may need to be overcome. Maybe. I could be wrong. This is no scientific sampling I speak of... On the other hand, now that I think about it, I think we've been defacto PR folks for you in this area, as we consistently stress how much we love it there and how we've been there doing work (cleaning) into the early AM hours, and it's been fine. I don't know we're reaching homebuyers, though... Maybe? So complications of homebuying aside, I am thinking that essentially no sales agent - probably ultimately a plus. But there may potentially be a need to send a message re. the area.

I think the plan is going to work out well. I have gotten several emails already just from people knowing that we are getting ready to sell the homes. I am excited to start working with people and getting a chance to tell our story. It feels like we have been getting ready for this forever. Michael - The project as of right now is in a 1-500 year flood designation so it would not require flood insurance. Although that could change over time. Thanks!

I love this idea. I am so sick of stale sales offices that want to offer me "deals" that they try and pass off as just being for me because I am "special" Be authentic and set your prices at the best you can do and buyers will line up for your houses.

I love the idea of the LJUrban crew being able to connect directly with the community over the project as well. The slow in the market presents an ideal setting for making this kind of person to person interaction thrive. And the ability for the buyer to bring in their own agent, if preferred, will allow for the buyers to feel secure.

Honestly, I wanted to see/feel Jason in the place. I noticed the large stones- sit on a rock- and connected them to his memorial service. What a contemplative he was! We drove around looking at your other sites in the same area. I am curious about what you all are doing and am in need of "more" house - we currently have 2 adults and 3 children in two bedrooms. We like our 1920's bungalow and definitely could not live in the car dominated suburbs of Sacto. Knocking down the price with some creative selling/buying would be a good incentive, assuming that buyers will have to purchase flood insurance living so close to the river.

Thanks for your input. Dustin, I think its perfectly ok to assume that the buyers would be able to have their own agent represent them in the transaction. Thanks for your input.

I was faced with a similar situation back in October with the purchase of our first home (very overwhelming). The seller chose not to use agents in an attempt to keep costs low, which was greatly appreciated. But for us, it made no sense making one of the biggest purchases of our lives with no representation or previous experience. We were fortunate enough to have had a family member who is a real estate, and eventually the seller agreed to work with us and our agent and in the end, purchased a beautiful new home. My wife and I liked to think of it like this, you most likely wouldn't go to court without a lawyer, so why buy a house without an agent? Now having said this, I have no doubt that LJ Urban would make the process a positive one for all parties and I myself would still consider buying a home from you, agent or not. Thank you for the opportunity to comment I can't wait to see it complete!

There is a lot of skeptisim out there about the market but I think you have the right idea. If half of what you say is true about your houses that you will have an easy time getting people to buy them. I hear someone talk about LJ Urban and the incredible work you guys are doing everywhere I go. Make sure that the invitations to the events are public. I think a lot of people will want to come that might not be buyers themselves but would make a good underground sales team. Keep it up guys! I think that might just work.
