Busted Dreams For Sale

 

homesteadforsaleWe've all seen them. Busted Dreams.  They come on the Real Estate Market and are sold "as is".

 

  • It's the homestead with the hay equipment still in the barn, in a bad state.  It's a Busted Dream for  sale.  
  • It's the home that burned and no one did any cleaning up of the site.  In fact, there's still an old car in the drive-way up on blocks and a dog that the neighbors bring food to.  Someone walked away from it all.  It's a Busted Dream For Sale.  
  • It's the Feed Store that someone was going to run... A metal container box was hauled in, blocked up, steps put to it...right in the center of the 1 acre. Theres even a a sign in front that says, Jones Feed & Tack.  But no one ever opened the doors or even had a distributor deliver any feed.  The weeds stay knee high.  It's a Busted Dream For Sale.  
  • It's the home half-finished that was a DIYer and they ran out of money, got divorced, or ?. It's a Busted Dream For Sale.  
  • Often they turn out to be a unique property; Often there's a reason that the Antique Store in the wrong location, never opened it's doors.

Real Estate Agents get to see Busted Dreams fairly often or at least some of us do.  It's actually part of the job description (TIC).  

 

How to sell them?  Well... just like any other piece of real estate.  Good accurate photos, good accurate descriptions, priced for the market (That's a hard one on some busted dreams... putting vaue on a half finished house or on a feed store that never opened it's doors can be difficult.), advertised in the right places, a list of possibilities that might work, exposure, exposure, exposure.   I have one or two Busted Dreams For Sale right now...  I won't link to them in specifically because the new buyer will have their own dream going on in their head and when they land on that property for sale on The Integrity Team Website, they are going to say,  HA!  That's perfect!  They do not need it carrying a label "Busted Dream for Sale".. No!  It's their new dream.  AND they may make it work!

Hi Judi K Barrett - although this is a different kind of sale we can present what it is as an open canvas for the buyer to paint his or her dream.

Every short sale comes under this title. That's a great term for these properties and so sad.

This is an excellent reminder that broken dreams can create opportunities for real estate professionals.

Judie those "busted dreams for sale" are sad to see, even though they may present a good opportunity for someone else.

But I thought down South every front yard had a car on blocks ...... sorry.
