Hello,
I need your advice. We are searching for a plot of land, basically in only two towns. There are two building plots available, but my partner doesn’t like them. Otherwise, nothing. I recently saw a house with a large plot in an absolutely dream location and simply called the owners to ask if they would consider selling part of the land. Apparently, it already belongs to the daughters, but they said their mother, who still lives in the house (she is in her mid-80s), should decide.
The "problem" is that on the half of the land they want to sell, there is their prefabricated garage. The elderly lady said she isn’t really sure about it; she doesn’t want any hassle. They would need a new garage afterwards... I already told her not to worry about that.
Do you have any ideas on how I can convince her to sell to us? This is truly the last possible plot in the area and it would be so great if it works out.
Because of COVID-19, I thought of writing a letter with a photo of us, where I introduce ourselves. What do you think about that, and do you have any other ideas?
It just has to work.
Thanks and best regards
Knatti

A woman came to the door and told us that one person from the group of heirs commissioned the real estate agent alone without consulting the others. How foolish is that?!
He didn’t deserve anything else *lol*
In "our" (not mine) group of heirs, the appointed real estate agent isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed either. He’s made so many mistakes and has already received a warning. He even managed to mishandle existing plans and "decorate" the cover photo with a trash bin in front of the house.
In case someone like you kindly tries to find out, the neighbors are already informed.
Our previous agents were great—they saved us from the "what’s your last price" type and real estate tourists, and organized the sale very quickly.

@Wolkensieben: try looking up Berliner Testament. The grandmother may have legally arranged for the property to already belong to the daughters.We have done that. My husband and I named each other as heirs; we inherit from each other. Only after both of us have passed do the children inherit. This is for the following reason: if a child has a statutory inheritance (compulsory share) in a joint estate, they can demand a payout and even enforce a forced sale. However, since neither of us could pay out a child during our lifetime without selling the house, the house is protected.
Not because we don’t trust our children, but because you never know what ideas spouses or their families might come up with.
