Lilly called me. She lives out of town. She wanted to fire her agent*. How could she do this?
I walked her through the process, but first, I asked to see the listing. After all, how could a house not sell in this crazy market? After sending me the listing, I'm getting a pretty good idea why there were so few showings. Nowhere in the listing does it talk about the gorgeous kitchen or other internal features. It doesn't mention the fact it is horse property or that it is nestled next to the mountains in Southern Arizona. Instead, the listing has this bit of prose:
Desert Sanctuary 2,506 SQFT home with 3-4BD/2BA on 3 acres featuring a home that has been successfully used as an Airbnb for the past few years. 5 Smart-lock doors to the outside, both family rooms have a fireplace. The home is set up to allow multiple families to enjoy this desert oasis. Plenty of parking for vehicles. Sturdy horse fence surrounds property. Two swinging gates for entry & to keep out critters. Water & Electricity in 2 out-buildings. Masonry stucco with covered back porch & separate laundry room with storage. No carpets. Roof recently coated; 4 years remain on termite warranty. Solar sensor lights surround exterior of home. Dividable land. You can see the stars and hear the desert music of birds and animals in this lovely setting.
Incidentally, as a buyer, if I see "critters," there is no way I'm stepping foot on the land. And to be fair, unless it is a yurt, can we all safely assume there are locks?
*I will not be taking this listing. She had made up her mind to fire the agent long before she called me. I only told her what it would entail and pointed her towards her contract with the brokerage.
