The Buyers Never Saw the House in Person Before Closing!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Capital Properties DC AB15253
This is a heart warming review from my clients who bought a home last week with me before they headed back overseas to finish their tour for the State Department.  
This couple found me through a referral from another client who also lived overseas when they bought their townhome.  (The earlier couple actually found me through my blogs on Active Rain.)  After some Facetime calls and research, this couple told me what they wanted in the way of a home. I gave them suggestions.  They narrowed the list and I went to visit the homes, Facetiming with them during my tours.   The house they fell in love with on line turned out to be a good match for them - and it has an awesome back yard for their children.  
 
Lise and her team made our recent home purchase a wonderful process! We live overseas, and ended up putting in an offer on our new home before ever seeing it. Lise made sure we did virtual walk throughs, giving honest commentary of what she saw in person while really listening to what was important to us. She went above and beyond, even driving around to take videos of neighborhoods to give us the best possible understanding of the houses we were interested in. She also helped us negotiate a great price!—never an easy feat in the DMV market, but Lise made it look effortless. Her team made sure every detail of the purchase process was taken care of. In the end, we ended up with a great home in our dream neighborhood. We can’t thanks Lise and her team enough!
 
Thank you Andy and Carolyn.  I hope you are very happy in your new home for many years! 
If you are overseas and want to buy a home here in the United States but aren't sure how to start, just give us a call at 240-401-5577 or email us at lise@lisehowe.com.  We have helped several clients buy homes here in the DC metro area through videos and Facetime, What's App and lots of information!  Lets talk!

Lise Howe - talk about going above and beyond and be acknowledged and recognized by clients is a beautiful thing. What a great testimonial with an outpouring of appreciation for a job well done! 

If you can do that much for people buying property sight on seen, and so well, I can only imagine the quality services you provide to in person clients.

Hi Lise... been there, done that! In fact, Reed's aunt who referred Reed and Kayla to me bought a house with me here in the Charlotte area, which she never saw until two weeks after closing. I just went spent close to $900K on her behalf. Happily she was happy.

Hello Lise - situations and circumstances can certainly make real estate more challenging sometimes.  Proper preparation and expectations can be tested. 

Your Washington DC area real estate experience is certainly noteworthy.  You pass with flying colors.  Once again.

Hi Lise Howe You did a great service to your clients, buying a home without seeing it. I have done that a couple of times with military clients.
