A lady called From Iraq on a Short Sale Property I have Listed

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Selling Indy Metro, LLC RB14037942

The phone rang yesterday evening and the voice on the other end said I'm calling from Iraq.  I found you on the internet and I'm interested in a house you have for sale 2541 Braxton, Indianapolis, in 46229 a short sale I have listed Blc # 21017969.  She is retired Military doing a contract over there but wants to buy a house in Indy. She is a first time home buyer and thought that she could possibly get the $8000 first time buyers credit. 

     The buyers credit for some Military members and Federal employees that are serving The US out of the Country receive another year to qualify for a home buyers credit. They must enter into a binding contract by April 3oth of 2011. 

I explained to her that I did not think that she qualified since she was retired military but if she is working on a government contract she just might.  We didn't have long to talk as she was on a calling card but I got all the information necessary to set her up on a client gate way so she could view properties in the areas that she is interested in and mark the ones that will fit her needs.  She has relatives here that can be her advocate and go preview the properties.  

Its amazing that you can do everything pertaining to buying a house including the contracts over the internet from distances as far away as Iraq.  She can view the homes, talk via e-mail and sign contracts on the purchase of a home all via The Iternet and thanks to programs such as docusign.

The interbet is amazing. Our world has shifted to a more techy client and we better be ready. I have had a few active military folks from over seas call about listings.

We have a buyer who is returning from Iraq soon...I can't imagine buying a house based on pictures...but we have had offers from out of state buyers who never saw the house....but also thought they would steal it...
