Possible Sale of My House

Tuesday February 2

I got an email from someone who is interested in my house. I would not normally write this down, but since I'm writing this a few days later, I entered this information here, as a note of when this viewer first contacted me.

Wednesday February 3

This viewer of my website said he is serious about buying my house. I told him about a piece of ground that is next door and that the total price is listed is $189,000.
He asked how much I would take for it, and I said, “What do you think is a fair price?” He came back and offered $179,000. I agreed to this, but that if we could split the closing costs.

This is a great offer!

The Buyer's name is Chong Lin. He told me that he owns a company that sells construction machinery and that he is located in Hong Kong. In our corresponding to him, he said that his stock broker from America sold some stock for him and he would like him to send the money to my lawyer. He asked for my lawyer's address, of which I gave him.

I sent an email to Maria regarding this.

Friday February 5

I haven't heard from Maria, so I called her. She said that she read my email. She also suggested that I give this man (Chong Lin) her email address. Maria said that the tax on taking money outside of the country is 2%. She told he how she would set it up if he sent money to my bank in Cyprus.

I will have to write back to Chong and tell him this, so it will save us money and to call Maria.

This is really amazing, as Chong is willing to pay a good price and he hasn't even seen the property. He said he is 100% interested in the property. He said that he would like to have a base in Ecuador to ship things to his American clients.

As soon as this guy expressed serious interest in the property, I thought of someone from Asia that has a lot of money. In fact, it is someone from Asia (the email address showed asia-mail.com).

Another strange thing is, that he is wants to send the money before he gets there and before he looks at the property. I do have to say that I do have 20 pictures and a lot of description on the site, so he might feels confident.
