What's involved selling part of a piece of land without a realtor's involvement?

Question

If I have an agreement with a neighbor to sell part of my acreage to him, what has to be done legally to make this happen? Do I have to share the cost of the survey? Do outside authorities need to be involved?

Answer 1

Before you can sell part of your land, you have to legally subdivide it.  You'll need a real estate lawyer to do it.

Answer 2

The owner should have a survey done as there needs to be a complete legal description in order to transfer the property.  

Answer 3

you DON'T need a realtor.  What you need is a lawyer that deals with real estate issues.
