To walk the property lines, we highly recommend an app called OnX Hunt, which uses your phone's GPS system to show you property boundary lines, and allow you to walk them in real-time. You can follow THIS LINK to open the location on OnXHunt (you'll need to be logged in already to open it); save it as an Offline Map before you head out so that you can use the app even if you lose cell service. Because the lot is wooded, and surrounded on 3 sides by wooded lots, this is by far the best method to follow the boundary lines of the property.

Additionally because cell phone reception can be spotty, please ensure that you DOWNLOAD the parcel map from OnXMaps before you go to KCE.

You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you're welcome to. Please note: We do not offer owner-financing, but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we'd be happy to coordinate with them.
