Just Closed a $2800 Sale. What Was Your Lowest Priced Sale?

By
Real Estate Agent with Atlanta Communities Real Estate Brokerage GREC #208281

I just had a closing on a $2800 land lot.  It was a 0.3 acre buildable lot.

The good thing is that I received a $1000 commission.  A person from Maryland saw it on my website, had a friend look it over and came down and bought it with cash. 

I had received a call from an asset manager back in the summer and asked if I was interested in listing it.  Since it was a vacant piece of land I figured it wouldn't require that much time.  I wouldn't have to go there to show it.  I could just have all the information on the website.

I got them to spend $325 for a survey which helped make the sale.

This is a property that the bank had foreclosed on back in 2008 for $164,311.  How about that for a loss.  Pretty crazy, isn't it.

Tim, 

Wow, what a deal for the buyer.  Mind boggling how much the bank loss, but there are some amazing opportunities out there.

All the best, Michelle

Tim - I think that qualifies for a "significant loss." Sounds like a great deal for a buyer, but then, there are still lots of "buys" out there.
