So we found a piece of property that we were interested in going to see. It's being sold as two separate pieces but the owner wants to sell them together. I called the listing agent who enthusiastically set up a showing for us with the owner of the property on Thursday. After asking him some questions, it was clear that he was not very knowledgeable on the buying or selling of large pieces of property (we are talking about almost 130 acres).
I have been looking for a while for a certified land consultant because buying land is a much bigger process than just buying a house and I wasn't sure of all the right questions to ask. There are seriously none around here...zip, zero, zilch. I have looked, absolutely nada. So I expanded my scope and found someone 3 hours away. On the off chance that they might help us, I called him up. Very nice guy, very knowledgeable - exactly what we need and more than willing to help. I told him that we had a showing on Thursday and I would get back in touch with him if, after seeing the place, we were truly interested. You know, I didn't want him to have to drive three hours out here if we saw the inside of the house and it was in shambles and the barn was falling down and we hated it.
So the listing agent was sending me an email with more specifics on the property and when I got it, I asked if he minded if I sent the information on to this agent who was helping us. The next email I got said that he was canceling the appointment for Thursday and we could have our agent call and schedule a showing. WTF? Now I sit here dumbfounded. I mean, doesn't he want the place to sell? Anyone have any insight into the real estate world?
