Turning Idle Land into Retirement Dreams – The Story of 99999 Greenspire Dr

September 29, 2023

Ben Bogardus, your trusted real estate agent, recently had the privilege of helping Kathy and Dave, a retired couple facing the common dilemma of owning a piece of land that had been sitting idle for years. This is a success story that showcases the power of proactive real estate guidance and the potential for transformation in retirement planning.

**Meet Kathy and Dave**

Kathy and Dave found themselves in a situation familiar to many retirees. Kathy was already enjoying her well-deserved retirement, while Dave, still working at his car shop, was of retirement age but unsure of when he would hang up his tools for good.

**The Worst-Case Scenario**

This piece of land was part of their nest egg, but it had been sitting there, untouched and unutilized. The worst-case scenario loomed over them – their land might continue to sit idle until the end. Taxes and property insurance payments added to their financial burden, all while the wealth tied up in this property meant they missed out on opportunities to enjoy their retirement to the fullest.

**How Ben Stepped In**

Ben, ever proactive, sent a hand-written card to Kathy and Dave after successfully selling another piece of land in the same community. He knew he had motivated buyers from this listing still looking. After a property walkthrough and discussions with the clients, Ben got to work.

With his extensive marketing expertise, Ben listed the property and, within 5 days, secured a contract. But that was just the beginning. Ben guided them through the intricacies of due diligence, particularly navigating the challenging process of completing the septic permit application and ensuring buy-in from all parties involved. As a dedicated Real Estate professional, Ben was present with his clients at the attorney's office for the closing of the sale to make certain that he would be available to answer any questions or address any concerns that Dave and Kathy may have with the various documents requiring their signatures.

**The Life-Changing Result**

The result was nothing short of transformative. Instead of their asset gathering dust, Kathy and Dave now had a substantial cash windfall at their disposal. Dave, in particular, fulfilled a long-held dream by purchasing a brand-new Mercedes.

**The Client's Testimonial**

Kathy and Dave left a glowing recommendation for Ben: "From start to closing, Ben did exactly what he said he would do. He was prompt, informative, attentive to detail and knowledgeable. His advertising was cutting edge, including beautiful drone footage video of the property. There were multiple offers, and we closed in a short period of time, with no last-minute problems, as oftentimes is the case."
