So I have a unique situation here --
Neighbor sent us a letter in the mail stating they would like to purchase our SFH home at FMV so that their immediate family member can move in next door. However, we were not thinking about moving at this time due to the pandemic and housing shortage.
How do we respond nicely in a way where we can maintain courtesy that we're not interested in selling right now but then if you're trying to evict us, you need to come in stronger than FMV? Everybody's got a price but we want to word it nicely where we say, no thank you but perhaps you could offer FMV plus a 25% premium or something?
Next, in a situation like this, should we just find a single realtor to handle this transaction? And can we ask for 1% commission total? What we do know for a fact is that they have cash money to spend so this would be a quick close and we would push for no contingencies and sold as-is so the realtor literally has to do nothing. No showing, no staging, no advertising, no MLS.
thanks a bunch
