From an actual, yes I sent it email:
Hi ██████. Just going to ask for some clarification on a couple of things, OK?
Check me on some facts. This is how I have them in my notes, and I want to make sure I get them right:
- Buyer listed 29 ac at $██k/acre
- I called, and you quoted me $███k/ac for 7 ac, about 50% surcharge, which the seller thought would offset “loss of street access on one side.”
- I checked comps for wooded, bare farm, and developed land, sold and selling, and suggest $██k/ac is reasonable, or in other words about a 10% premium above asking price, because seller is indeed losing some street access on one side.
- Seller comes back with a suggestion that I pay net $███k/ac, or 10% higher than his first 50% inflated suggestion…
- …for substantially less land.
I think maybe I missed a decimal somewhere. Or something.
