I Need A Buyer!!!!!!!!!!

[vfem]

I hope by now you've gotten an offer!

With the kids toys, give them a number they can play with and rotate it. Store the ones have tiny pieces and more work for you to clean up. I say five toys for each kid would be enough and they all can go into the chest when done.

I showed the house yesterday to a nice woman and her son. They really seemed like they like it!
Then this morning I had a phone call from someone who saw my For Sale By Owner sign out front and asked to see it. They came by an hour later. A nice younger woman with her mother. I think she's a first time buyer and looking for a house to raise a family. PERFECT! She also really seemed to like it! So now, as my mother the real estate agent said, "I have two fish in the frying pan!" I just hope one of those fish call again with an offer!

The seller of the property will not give me 120 to close from the signing of the contract like I just requested. He won't take it off the market till the contract is signed. My attorney has the contract with 60 days to closing. I just can't sign that contract till someone signs the contract on the sale of my house. This is driving me nuts!

well hopefully you will be able to sell your home soon, I still think you should make maple syrop and walnut butter...yummm...I bought my house with 48 acres for 20k Canadian funds, so if you ever decided to buy canadian property northern ontario has loads of land for real cheap...lol...no restrictions

I have no idea what buying and selling land is like in the USA so this could be way off target but....

For quick(ish) money, could you not divide the land into a few smaller parcels and sell some off for people to build on, small lots, like the ones surrounding the larger plot.
On the agricultural land, presumably you can build your house there if you class it as a farmhouse, perhaps a fishing pond would earn you some money - easy stuff so parents can bring their children to learn fishing. Keep some of the trees for a nice natural setting. Just a thought...

Looks like a nice place to be, good luck on selling

I just got a call from the seller's broker about the property we want to buy. The seller is willing to give us the 120 to close from the signing of the contract if we give him a nonrefundable deposit of $10,000. So, if the 120 is up and I still don't have a buyer for my current house then we'd lose that $10,000.

I NEED A BUYER!!!!

Still haven't heard back from the people I showed the house to last week.

Should I call them or is that the wrong approach?

Here's my house. Any takers??? Before you start freaking out about the price............this is the Hamptons.

Can I be an a$$ for a minute?! The house is cute, but don't you want to move the kids things out of the front yard before you photo the front of the house? And maybe a pot with some bright colored flowers just for a sign of 'good sun' for those yard people, by the front door. I am guessing your fireplace is functional, I would at least try to clean the black soot off the front of it... or maybe a fresh coat of white paint over the brick to hide that, and rephoto. Other then that everything looks fabulous!

And I understand the price! Just grateful we don't live in that area! WOW! We barely could afford the $100k for our little piece of southern heaven.

Sorry, its just huge points I went through house shopping. My in-laws (my husband's dad and his uncle) buy homes to gut and sell. Old estate homes, things like that. So I helped plant to bring attention to the good spots in the yard, and attention away from bad spots. I had to help clean, and things like fireplaces like that, we painted soot covered brick all the time! Just trying to show the major things we had to do when selling. They used to sell them themselves... but now they have realtors, and these multimillion dollars houses aren't moving with the economy
