Block is sold!
It finally happened, the block has officially sold. A few weeks back a guy from Kalgoolie contacted our real estate agent about the property, shortly there after he found my ad on Gumtree and contacted me directly. As luck would have it our RA contract was set to expire a week later, we agreed to settle privately.
Chris (our buyer), who currently lives in Kalgoolie, was keen to purchase the block sight unseen. After agreeing to a price, which, was lower than I would have liked, but given the lack of interest we couldn't afford not to accept, on top of that the timing of the sale was no accident. Chris is a bit of a legend, when he made the offer (145k), it being lower than my original minimum of 150k, I told him to give us some time to discuss it, even though I knew we had to accept, the following day I contacted him to agree to the sale price, he was wrapped, and said to me ‘first things first, do ya like bourbon?’.
Debbie Hutton handled all the legalities, she’s the same conveyancer who handled the hell that was our original purchase and sub-divison of the block. She’s really good, if you need a conveyancer give her a call.
Funny story, so the guy who bought the blocks name is Christopher Robin Kreely, apparently his parents really liked winnie the pooh…
Anyway about a month after the purchase went through he and his partner came down and we went out to the block to show them around, he brought a bottle of bourbon and his partner brought several bottle of champagne for the girls.
We spent a few hours showing them around, giving Chris all the information I could in regards to the block and its many quirks.
Chris was wrapped with it, its just what they were looking for.
