Guess this buyer saw a golden opportunity
On Monday, Realtor Kim Ogilvie closed a deal with a very interesting twist.
A golden one to be exact.
The buyer of a downtown Sarasota residence that sold for more than $1 million brought a briefcase filled with $400,000 worth of South African Krugerrands to the closing — that is about 444 of the gold coins. A foreign coin expert was at the closing and verified the coins’ authenticity and weight.
“I represented the seller and were happy to complete the transaction in whatever form they wished to use.”
