Soldier's are buying homes; sight unseen using video.
I'd like to tell you about a wonderful example of several deployed soldiers's stationed in Iraq who searched for and purchased a home before coming back to the states. Using the current technology availible it is now possible, and Soldier's are buying homes; sight unseen using video. The use of VIDEO and pictures, if done properly, can give you an up close look; good enough to buy with confidence sight unseen.
Technology has not only given us great visuals, it has allowed us the ability to transact the complete real estate purchase and sale contract ONLINE.
One of the Soldier's in this story was so creative; not having the use of a scanner or a fax machine, he used the camera on his cell phone to send back the signed documents as ( pictures). Who says you have to use a fax machine.
You might be wondering, why didn't he just wait to get back? The reason Soldier's are buying homes, sight unseen using video is, with the knowledge of thousands of troops returning soon to Joint Base Lewis McChord, Soldiers are wanting to make sure they don't get the left overs. They want to take advantage of our current real estate market, and they want to take advantage of the low interest rates and great deals, not to mention they are still receiving the $8,000 tax credit.
The deals are out there. The Soldier bought his home for $280,000 from a seller who had paid over $400.000 for the same home only 3 years earlier.
The secret to making this work is; your agent needs to be PRO- ACTIVE and looking for DEALS everyday like a hawk.
Your agent needs to be willing to use all of the available technology to conduct the transaction, including VIDEO.
Your agent must be willing to receive documents from remote facilities with opposite time zone issues. This would be a FULL-TIME agent; in the case of this example a BUYERS agent working JUST for you the BUYER.
So maybe now you can see why Soldier's are buying homes, sight unseen using video; because THEY CAN.
Check out the VIDEO below, you will see a real live example of an agent using a video camera helping a Soilder to buy a home.
