For Sale by Owner (We hope)

My tack shed. Yes, it is for sale too. Would make a great mother-in-law
apartment don't you think?

So we told our realtor Ba-Bye being as it didn't seem he understood what it was we were trying to do. Basically..SELL THE FARM!!

So now what? Well we still want to sell the farm and the business and the farm business and yeah selling the house along with it all would be good too. Enter FSBO the newest craze in all the land.

We talked to others who have gone this route and then I chatted with our attorney. Seems when we add up the cost of FSBO plus the lawyers fees we will still be spending about $21,000 LESS than if we sell the house through a realtor.

Thus, a good part of my day was reading complaints and complements(through the better business bureau)  about the FSBO business located in Chicago, talking to our attorney and working on our listing. I also cleaned a few rooms (barely) and took pictures for both the FSBO site as well as the Farm Blog site I did a few months ago. You can find the new pics here. http://certifiedorganicfarm.blogspot.com/  Even one of our bedroom. Oh go on. You know you want to. Everybody likes to snoop at other people's houses.  Tomorrow I might even post pics of our bathroom, once I empty the overflowing trash and the wash the juice splotches off the wall by the toilet. Don't ask.

Why you ask and if you are new to my blog you are entitled to ask, are you selling your farm? Because we want a simpler life. We want a tiny house and just enough animals and garden space to grow our own food. But first we have to get through the complicated mess of selling our organic farm business.

Simple is not as easy as it looks.

  1. Oh, c'mon! You can't fool me! You just don't GET 5 calves when you're down sizing! Face it, you want the best of both worlds..right? ;)

    I HAVE your solution! Just hire a crazy haired city girl as the farm care taker and then you'll have time for your not-so-crazy farm chores. I--I mean, she--will be able to do the big, gruff jobs, and you can focus more on the self-sustaining smaller part.

    Plus, that shed WOULD make a great smaller house. Win-win!

    You laugh. I laugh. I may only be HALF kidding! ;)

  4. I presume the above is how you increase you comment numbers!

    I think you should advertise on a DUTCH property website. The Dutch are desperate to buy land, crazy about organic foods, and all speak English.

  6. I just know the right person is out there now, and has just not found your farm yet. But they are coming! And if you would like to ship that tack shed my way, I would gladly buy that little part of your farm ;) My Birds are in bad need of some new digs.

  7. ZAN ZAN ZAN. you have obviously had too much coffee. 3 comments all the same ? Take your finger OFF the enter key friend

    Seriously we are thinking about hiring help, we are and when I do, I will call that crazy haired NY girl

    Cro, yes, I will do anything to increase my numbers. I am shallow and needy. How did you like that 1/2 beef I sent you?

    Bondwarrd. Are you spam? You look like spam. You smell like spam. You must be spam.

    Jane. I too believe the right person is out there, somewhere, over the rainbow, and if they don't want the tack shed it is yours...for the price of shipping of course
