Why do we charge for HUTS Land?
Hey there, thanks for checking out HUTS Land! We are really glad you’re here.
You may be asking yourself, “why does HUTS charge for this service?” Well, to put it quite simply, we do the legwork so you don’t have to.
Yes, all land listings are free and publicly available to anyone who is looking, and through a wide variety of channels. But, what you see is what you get — and generally, what you get is a blurry picture of trees, a price tag, and no context.
We recognized an opportunity for improvement. So we did some work, and created a tool that will make the land search journey less of a chore and more of a guided adventure. But, we use a lot of resources to do this. And it takes a lot of time. So we charge a little bit to keep these efforts moving forward, and to create an experience that is highly curatorial and informative for you.
Here are just some of the benefits of signing up for a HUTS Land subscription:
1. Save Time
We pour over listing services in search of the best currently available parcels in the six major counties of Hudson Valley and the Catskills. That’s more time for you to spend doing literally anything else! We select and categorize these parcels into the following criteria to help you manage your search:
- Location
- Price
- Acreage
- Available Utilities
- Project Level
- Environment
2. Save Money
We have found through our clients – and on our own – that the average timeframe to find the perfect parcel of land to buy is about three months. That’s a lot of road trips upstate, driving around from county to county, and the associated travel expenses really start to add up. Sure, we love a long weekend in the mountains just as much as the next. But, HUTS Land can really help you keep those weekend exploration trips under control, and gives you a clear idea of the lots you are going to visit in advance.
3. Envision – and budget for – an Overall Project Scope
It’s hard to unlock and envision the potential of a land parcel just by looking at a few photos, and sometimes it’s even harder when you visit and take a walk around. Each HUTS Land listing offers a comprehensive suggested plan for how to develop the lot, along with an easy to follow land use diagram and land prep estimate. Our experts utilize unique aerial land surveying technology to scope out the parcel from above to truly understand it’s potential and deliver the best advice to you.
4. Local Insight
Each of our listings is also accompanied by recommendations for places to dine, shop and explore around the lot. Additionally, we pair this information with a HUTS Town Guide, so you can really get a flavor for the area — even before deciding to visit. This is a very helpful step for those who are just beginning their search.
Sounds pretty cool, right ? We think so too and hope you will check it out. Happy searching, intrepid friends!
