SOLD: 10 Acres 4865 Harper Road Bessemer Alabama

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty

I listed this property a couple of weeks ago and it closed this week.  I had never listed this kind of acreage before and I didn't really know what to expect but I knew there would be some interest.

What I did not expect was that my phone would be blowing the heck up with showing request.  There was a great deal of interest in this property all the way up to the day before closing.

This was particularly special to me because I have been serving this family for years through the purchase and sale of several homes. So, when they reached out to me, I was once again honored to serve.

For reasons that I won't state, it was first listed as an EXP Realty Company listing only which means it was not visible to the public and there was no interest using this method. However, once the sellers allowed me to change it to an MLS listing, it was game on.  The seller received multiple cash and financed offers.  Needless to say, the King won.  We closed exactly 2 weeks from the date of the offer for cash, of course.

I have a post in draft titled Highest and Best that was prompted by this particular listing.  I'll post it later with a link to this post as a reference point.

The co-op agent was a pleasure to work with.  Her buyers were very happy and of course so were my sellers.

Grateful for long time, repeat clients.

Hello Charita---a career in real estate often means more than a few back stories and filling in the blanks.  Congratulations on this Bessemer Alabama transaction.   Good luck to each of the participants.

Michael Jacobs AR is a testament that we all have back stories in our line of work.  Some of them are real doosies.

Congratulations on this speedy cash sale! There's a lot to be said for all the eyeballs one gets from listings that are in MLS!

Thanks Kat Palmiotti .  This was not a FBSO, but one of the hardest things to convince a FBSO of is the value of the MLS.

Even though you had it as an inhouse listing, offering it up to all definitely was a better thing for the sellers.

Ed this was the first time ever that I had used an in house listing. I don't think I expected much from it

Thanks Richard. The house was never the focus of the marketing since it basically needed to be gutted. The focus was on the acreage that is what sold the property.
