Without hiring a real estate agent? Any suggestions would GREATLY be appreciated!

My grandma just died and has about 3.5 acres on a very busy road in a small town just outside of Houston, Tx. My mom has so many bills to pay and really needs to get this property off her hands. Her estate is right on a main road where there are about 7 churches, one HUGE 5-A high school, an elementary school, a grocery store, a sonic is just going in, a few banks, a post office, a gas station, and other banks and small businesses.

Her house is right smack dab in the middle of all these businesses and the town is growing. Her property backs up to two roads…

****Has anyone ever heard of a person contacting different (major) businesses and giving them info on their property to sell it? (fast-food, gas station, restaurant, Walgreen’s…)??

I read houses are cheap in Houston but be ready to pay high propterty taxes from the answer/yahoo. here an ideal I am single no children and my mother would buy the house and rent the house to me. it probably not going ot make much difference than San Francisco, California high sky rocket prices on homes are crazy. My mom currently renting a condo to me in Concord, California. payment total $1,800 $1000 a month on house payment, $250 a month home ownder insurances and taxes and $300 HOA maintence fee for living in the condo and we were force to $20,000 for a new roof on our condon and that we are paying $300 a month but luckly no interest charge because my grandma paid for it. but this time i want a house no a condo. thank you for your help Matt
