Offer for $60k Over Appraised Value
Long story short, my neighbor sold his 120 acres of vacant land to a jerk. The jerk and I have been fueding since nearly day 1. Jerk has been wanting to buy my land & house. I have been telling him to bring me an offer that would motivate me. I also told him that I would not pay RE commisions. Today, I get an offer through my agent thwt I bought the place through for $60k over appraised value.
So... I might be a little motivated with his offer, but still unsure. Two issues:
1) what is my obligation to pay commisions now that he has involved 2 RE agents?
2) how can I structure the sale to avoid Cap Gains tax. I have not owned the place for 2 years yet. 2 years will be up in December of this year.
