A DREAM SALE
I had a closing yesterday in Shell Knob, MO that can only be attributed to Active Rain's presence on the web. Neither the buyer or seller was present. In fact, I have never met the buyers. This is the second sale I have had like this.
The buyers found me on Localism. They saw the waterfront lots I had listed there. They called me. We discussed their concerns, got acquainted, they saw the land on Table Rock Lake and made an offer. Offer was accepted contingent on passing a perc test. Buyers would pay cash.
Getting a good perc test can be a challenge in this rocky territory. These lots failed the normal perc, but would be approved for a low pressure pump system, which is more expensive than a normal septic with laterals, but not as high priced as the next type of system. Buyers accepted that low pressure system would be required.
Yes, this is what we would call a "Dream Sale". Great Buyers and Seller. No complications on finance, appraisal, home inspection or credit worthiness. It helps make up for all the difficult ones that seem to require blood, sweat and tears to close.
The greatest benefit from this sale however, is the relationship I've developed with the buyers I've never met! I've enjoyed all our conversations on the web and phone. Teriffic people that I look forward to meeting in person.
There were approximately 25,000 real estate professionals participating on Activerain when I joined a year ago. Today the number is close to 62,000! Spectacular growth and one reason is the relationship building that this web site fosters. Relationships with other professionals, as well as clients. I feel very blessed to be a part of this.
