When Hick came home Tuesday afternoon, he said he had received a phone call.
"Some guy called me and said he had been talking to Realtor about our land. He wanted to know about the well, and I told him where it was. I figure people didn't notice it, because that neighbor had mowed partway onto our land, and they probably thought that was not our property. I mentioned that to him, and that those neighbors had a bunch of rocks and junk along the edge. That the well was only about 10 feet from the property line. The guy said that didn't bother him. That he was coming back out to take another look at the property.
He asked me why I was selling it, and I said we just don't need it. That I don't HAVE to sell it. And that I want the asking price, not any back-and-forth. He seems really interested."
Well. That's certainly good news. Seems like The Universe has thrown us a bone, heh, heh.
I don't think Realtor would find that reference very humorous at this time!
Oh, and when Hick was texting me on Monday, he accidentally sent one to Realtor instead of me! I hope it wasn't the text saying it might take her arm a while to heal "at her age!" She is only slightly older than Hick. She called him after that, apologizing that she missed their meeting and hadn't notified him, and gave a few more details.
It's good that Realtor didn't have a bone to pick with Hick...
Regarding the text that Hick accidentally sent to the Realtor... I've done the same thing, sending the text to the wrong person. Then, I panic and I need to read what I texted to be sure that the text didn't refer to the person who accidentally got the text:) It sounds like that land sale will be an easy sale.
ReplyDeleteI've done it too, mainly between Hick and The Pony, and thankfully was not badmouthing one to the other at the time! I also sent one to my best old ex-teaching buddy Mabel, who at least texted back, saying, "I think this was meant for one of your kids."
DeleteThe land sale is on the right track, so far.
Are there clear markings to indicate land borders so potential buyers know where to look and where to stop? If I was a buyer I would need that. I like to know my boundaries.
ReplyDeleteThere's a map and an aerial view on the listing, which have the borders in blue, and show the road and the creek. So they could be looking at it on their phone, and seeing landmarks. Otherwise, there are corner posts painted orange. It's not like you can paint a stripe down four sides of the woods.
