The Story

How This DeFuniak Springs Sale Came Together

The land was in Walton County. The owners were in Hawaii. Here's how the sale came together without them ever making the trip.

01

The Challenge

My sellers owned 4.4 wooded acres in the Mossy Head area of DeFuniak Springs, but they lived in Hawaii, about 5,000 miles away.

They needed someone here they could trust to handle the sale from start to finish.

02

What We Did

The sellers mentioned there were goats nearby, so I gave the listing a name buyers would remember: Goat Hill Haven.

I marketed it as beautifully wooded, buildable land a short drive from Lake DeFuniak, with aerial photos and a video. Because of the time difference, we kept in touch by email and text.

03

The Result

Listed on August 19 and under contract on August 26, just 7 days later.

We closed on September 4 at $90,000, and my sellers stayed in Hawaii the whole time.

Selling land from far away works best with someone on the ground who knows the area, tells its story well and keeps you updated in a way that fits your schedule.
