🚧 “NOT FOR SALE”

Jul 7, 2026 | News

Saw that sign on a vacant piece of land the other day.

First thought—probably tired of getting calls. 📞

Then I wondered… how many of those calls actually come from someone who drove by the property, versus someone pulling it from GIS or a database and targeting it directly? 📍

It also brings up the psychology of it.

Does “not for sale” discourage interest… or quietly signal that it just hasn’t hit the right price yet? 💰

I’ve had a conversation with a property owner who told me they weren’t making any moves. Months later, the property was under contract.

When I followed up, the answer was simple:

“They made me an offer I liked.”

In this business, “not for sale” often has a condition attached to it.
