May 27, 2014 Agent Sandy Fleming took us out to White Tail Trail Salem, AR at approximate 9:00 AM.
The asking price of the property was $290,000 for the property, 200 Acres, along with appliances.
The Seller happened to be there. Seller told us the history and showed us around the property, the house, the out buildings, the trail and the perimeters of the 200 Acres.
When it was done, she offered us to sit and ask her any questions, which we did.
We asked the seller how soon she wanted to close?
The seller's response : "No later than mid October"
Buyer: "Are you sure October?"
Seller: "Yes, I have a place in Florida that is ready."
Buyer: " You don't want to close sooner?"
Seller: "No, I haven't thought about that.mid October would be great."
Buyer: "Would you be willing to sell the equipment and any or all furniture if we put in an offer?"
Seller: "I never thought about that."
Buyer: "We are from MN and hate shopping, especially furniture, if there are things you don't want could we buy them from you?"
Seller: "My place is actually all ready to go, it's a small apartment and all I need to bring is my personal items."
Buyer: "You would be willing to sell us the equipment and furniture?"
Seller: "Yes"
Our Agent Sandy Flaming during the above process kept trying to get to leave and would try to cut off the seller and us as buyers.
Agent Sandy proceeded to call the Listing agent and we couldn't hear what was talked about as she went to her car.
Agent came back and said we need to go.
Seller gave buyers hugs and said: " I hope we can work this out."
Buyers: "We do to, Sandy will get something to you in the next day or so."
Seller: "Thank you and have a safe trip back to MN."
Buyers: "Thank you"
With that we left and while driving back,
Agent: "I know you could get this at $275,000, but you can't close in October."
Buyers: "Why?"
Agent: "No one likes to wait that long. We need to close in less than a month. I don't know how ya'll do things there in MN, but here we close right away."
Buyers: "We have done closings like that before, it's never been a problem."
Agent: "Here it is, we have to have it off the books. Ya'll won't get it if ya'll don't move your closing date up."
Buyers: "She said she wanted to wait."
Agent: "Well, I'll talk to Linda."
Buyers: "How long have you known Linda?"
Agent: "I've been here for 13 years and Linda 1. She's good people."
Buyers: " We will talk about it over lunch and get back to you.
Buyers left for lunch and left for Minnesota.
Agent called at 4:29 PM;
Agent: "What did you two decide?"
Buyers: "We are on our way back to MN, We are waiting to hear back from the banker."
Agent: "I can write up the offer now."
Buyers;" "No, We can't, We can't over leverage ourselves on this deal. We need to hear back from the back first. This would be a cash offer."
Agent: "Ya'll call me when you hear back. But it won't last long, 6 people already looked at it. It should be sold here real quick."
Buyers; "OK"
