This house has wheels, but it’s not a mobile home
So you have a house that you want to sell for $899,900, but you quickly discover that there are lots of other houses available in that price range.
What are you going to do?
If your name is Rick Langley and you want to move to Kansas City to take over a business you just bought, you might turn to your Realtor and ask, “What can we offer as an incentive? Can I give somebody a car?”
His Realtor is his long-time friend Mike Wheatley and Wheatley had to do some checking around before he could tell Langley that the car was a go.
“It is so unusual,” Wheatley said.
Here’s the point where it gets really unusual.
Other homeowners have given away cars, normally very inexpensive ones, but Langley had in mind a 2008 BMW 328i, valued by the manufacturer at $35,850.
Wheatley was all for it. A BMW would certainly attract more attention than a $35,850 reduction in the asking price for the house.
So Wheatley held an open house this week at 3893 Silver Charm Lane in Walnut Grove Estates and he parked the BMW in the front yard.
Lots of lookers came, but Langley has not received an acceptable offer. That’s not surprising, Wheatley said. No one is in a hurry in that price range.
He predicts that someone will eventually claim the Beemer. Not only will they get a nice house, but something unusual to talk about for years to come.
