We had dinner with Some old friends we had lost touch with , in the conversation they mentioned they wanted to sell their moms property...90 acres , told them I was interested..
They mentioned their mom cares nothing about it, hasn’t been there in over 10 years since her husband died....they don’t want or care about it either....gave me the location to go look at it....I did and told them I wanted to buy it to please let me know the price...
The mother is unmotivated to do anything, including hiring a lawyer to draw up contract...so I offered to....This has been going on for a year, COVID hit and she hasn’t done anything.
Her son is the go between and he is notorious for not returning calls for a week, text messages for a few days.....he will respond but always slow about it....
I talked to him a week ago and he said she is still ready to sell, to make an offer....
I made the offer, a little below market value and of course it’s been nothing since....
How do you motivate someone to get moving on this, when you can’t afford the place at full market value....
