A Seller Shares His Appreciation About Selling a Difficult Property

By
Real Estate Agent with Dirt Road Real Estate SA676002000

Sometimes real estate agents sell properties that have issues. Out here in Golden Valley, AZ washes, flood plains and road access are always issues facing sellers especially those wanting to sell vacant land.

This particular seller publicly shared his appreciation with my efforts:

"I recently worked with Leanne to sell a difficult piece of land with a challenging access road, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Leanne's communication was always timely and clear. She promptly notified me of all offers and prepared counteroffers efficiently. Her advice throughout the process was invaluable. Leanne truly went the extra mile, taking excellent photos of the land and even ensuring my property, which didn't have a formal address, was listed on Zillow. She is a true professional and I highly recommend her services."

When professional real estate agents go the extra mile, those efforts are usually rewarded. I am glad this challenging vacant land property did sell given the designated right of way had turned into a wash and much of the property was in a designated flood plain. However, it had power and water availability.

P.S. Please consider checking out my Facebook business page, The Grit and Gratitude Agent that will focus on the Dirt Roads in Mohave County as well local real estate, lots of dirt or vacant land parcels as some of the local attractions.
