The Story of Sold
Here's The Story...
When these sellers first listed their 13-acre ranchette in June 2022, they had no idea they were beginning a three-year journey to find the right buyer. After their property expired with three different agents over 17+ months of combined market time and zero accepted offers, they were frustrated, exhausted, and ready to give up on their dream of downsizing and moving out of state. This wasn't just any property—it was a unique hobby farm with a main home, guest cabin, three outbuildings, a barn, a shop, and a man cave, all set against stunning views of Crow Peak and the Black Hills with creek access. This is the kind of property that doesn't come along often. The kind of property that requires more than just a sign in the yard. They needed an agent who understood that unique properties, require unique strategies. They needed someone who could find the needle-in-the-haystack buyer who was searching for exactly what they had to offer. In August 2025, they gave us a chance.
This property had three strikes against it before we even began:
The History: After sitting unsold for over three years across multiple agents, the property carried the stigma of being "difficult to sell." Buyers and agents alike wondered, "What's wrong with it?"
The Uniqueness: A 3-bed, 2.5-bath main home plus a cabin, multiple outbuildings, and 13.43 acres isn't your typical residential listing. There were virtually no comparable properties for pricing guidance, making traditional valuation methods nearly impossible.
The Maintenance Reality: Large acreage properties with multiple structures require significant upkeep. The right buyer needed to see this as an opportunity, not a burden—but finding that buyer meant casting a very specific net.
The Timeline: After three years of trying, our sellers were emotionally drained and needed to move out of state before the end of the year. We had one shot to get this right.
After more than three years of frustration, our sellers finally got their fresh start. They closed on December 22, 2025—meeting their timeline to relocate out of state before the new year.
More importantly, they found peace of mind. After three failed attempts with other agents, they were able to move forward with their lives, knowing that their unique property had found the right buyer who would appreciate everything it had to offer.
Sometimes success isn't just about speed—it's about strategy, persistence, and refusing to give up until you find the buyer who sees what you see.
