LandandFarm.com is the leading website for rural and acreage land listings as measeured by Alexa and Compete traffic. In the last couple of weeks, they have changed their pricing dramatically to allow property sellers and brokers unlimited advertising for a $49.95/month. This price is lower than the $75/month they charged for just 10 listing ads [...]
The rise of sealed bid sales of late is a strong indicator that banks are willing to deal at market prices. These events allow banks the luxury of leaving published list prices high while encouraging buyers (with a wink and a nod) to submit lower than asking price bids for serious consideration.

is an Atlanta native and grew up in the land business. Previously with Coldwell Banker (formerly Northside Realty), Mike formed Fitzgerald Land & Commercial Realty in late 2004 to create a realty company specializing in land sales.
After spending several years in a traditional real estate brokerage, Mike became frustrated with the lack of land related knowledge and resources. After looking at other main line realty firms, it was clear that no company was willing to focus on land sales to the exclusion of other property types. He realized the complexity of land marketing and site selection demand sales professionals and a company dedicated to land only.
Mr. Fitzgerald works primarily on marketing undeveloped land in and around Atlanta. His expertise is related to both greenfield development parcels and infill redevelopment. Most notably, he successfully completed the land sale for a new Home Depot store and he assembled six parcels for redevelopment as high density residential in what is now the City of Sandy Springs.
