Can you sell a farm?

Have you ever fancied yourself as being a salesperson? Could you sell a small farm in Portugal?

I am about to begin an advertising campaign and of course am restricted to those places where travel to Portugal is permitted. I have a lot of faith in being able to sell to someone in one of the southern African nations but they are banned from coming here at present. We were unable to stop an ad when travel restrictions were imposed and it generated a fair bit of interest there. The internet agent we use gave us our buyer who had to withdraw due to covid restrictions after he returned home. Their ad is the same as my own site www.oldmcdonaldsolives.com which gives full details.

Travel throughout Portugal is now unrestricted and we have our eye on a bungalow in the Azores which we think will not remain on the market long. I need to retire sooner rather than later due to my heart operation. Old age does not help either.

The internet agency gets a fee of 2% of the sale price if they introduce the buyer, otherwise no charge. I am prepared to offer the same (by way of a gift for a favour done) to any TFF member who introduces the purchaser. To make sure you get your money, tell the person you introduce to let me know you introduced them. If you prefer you can contact me with their email address. Use your TFF name if you want to remain anonymous to me in the event you are not successful.
 
I would guess "home"
Be interesting to see what Old Mac says though

Spot on, Henarar.

I repeat what I just posted on the politics thread:

Portugal is colder, and Orkney not as cold as many folks think. We are not far from the ski lifts here. I suppose some folks would not be aware that Portugal has ski lifts. Orkney did have snow earlier this year, it happens. Being small islands surrounded by sea, the mean temperature in Kirkwall is higher than Inverness, which itself is close to sea level and the sea itself. Higher ground is colder. We had lots of snow and plenty of hard frosts on the top of the Black Isle before we came here. A hill farm inland in Northumberland before we went to Australia was a lot colder and endured a lot more snow than that too. We had snow there in June – the day after the first European referendum, and a bad sign in my opinion.


As some of you know from a certain thread on TFF I have taken a great deal of notice of changing temperatures for more than a few years, and have no qualms about Orkney weather.


We accept there is a lot of wind and rain on Orkney, but the Azores are the same. Only a wee bit warmer. You can always wrap up against bad weather, but once you get down to your skin in hot times there is nothing more to take off.
