Real seller story draft • Christiana, Tennessee
For Lois, selling inherited land meant getting closer to family
Lois had inherited property in Christiana, Tennessee, but she had been living in Georgia and had not been back to the land in decades. Her goal was bigger than simply selling a parcel: she wanted to combine the proceeds with the sale of her Georgia home and build a new home in Alabama, closer to her daughter and granddaughter.
Sometimes a land sale is really a family story
When Lois contacted us, the Christiana property had become one more thing standing between her and the next chapter she had pictured for herself. She was older, living in another state and did not want to start making trips back to Tennessee to coordinate property work and closing appointments.
We knew the sale needed to work around her life—not the other way around.
We started with the property research
Land With Joe coordinated and paid for the soil and septic evaluations needed to understand the property. Lois did not have to locate contractors or pay those costs herself.
The conventional septic route did not work
Multiple soil evaluations did not support a traditional septic system. Instead of leaving Lois with a dead end, we brought in a specialist to evaluate whether an engineered septic system could work.
A specialist found a workable path
The engineered-system evaluation produced the result needed to keep the purchase moving forward. That extra step took time, but it gave everyone a clear answer and allowed the transaction to proceed.
Lois closed without traveling to the title company
Lois signed her closing documents remotely through remote online notarization, often called RON. After the transaction funded, the title company wired her proceeds directly to her.
The result for Lois
