I wondered the same, but then I wondered if the new owner of this sight is also the owner of a hunting land real estate business and wants to steer potential customers to his business via the forum. How do we know sep0667 isn’t a pseudonym for the owner.
Mike- NO!!!!!!!!
I make zero $ from realtors. Zero. In actuality - if u want to look around this site... u will notice I put a farm up that a friend of mine owns in Union county. I also have ZERO motive there. ZERO. If he sells it- I get $0. If he doesn’t sell it, I get $0. The amount he paid me to put it on here: $0. The amount he’s going to pay a realtor: $0 & he’s not an Iowa realtor. The amount I have made from “helping” others buy or sell a farm in 17 years: $0.
This is none of your business & I don’t much appreciate the insinuation & conspiracy theory - but I’m going to let it pass and take a moment to clarify. I’d go a step further and say, my goal is not even to make $ with website. I’ll run it like a lean business BUT.... real estate involving OTHERS buying & selling, helping folks with habitat, giving advice, whatever it is, I have made $0 and never will. No tie to realtors & I make $0 from realtors.
One member on this forum down in that area had me down at his property last Saturday - Doing timber stand improvement help, advice, teaching and improving his habitat. Know what I charged him? $0. I do this to help people- PERIOD. Look at the “DBLTREE FORUM”- u wanna know what my real motivation is?? Getting that back with Paul’s legacy advanced. I want this website to be something that HELPS all people. Helps with hunting, information, improving tiny or big amounts of land, sharing info to be better hunters, having FUN, etc. This site is the epitome of helping people without motives!!!
I farm, have tree nursery & do a few business things to make an honest and fair living but - I’ll clarify again, $0 to gain from anything you could “imagine” up. I hope that clarifies this- I shouldn’t need to do this but u need to be a little more careful with ur thinking & how that translates into wild comments.
This original post is fine, sep0667 was NOT out of line.
The creative imagination on above comment needed to be corrected, remind folks to think about what they think up & post - & - I’ll politely set the record straight giving u a pass on this since maybe u genuinely don’t know. Think before posting that kinda stuff though.
All good on the rest. All u guys will be able to burn off some steam shed hunting soon.
