I have.  Twice as a matter of fact.  The one I live in and the one I should have burnt down.   

The One I Should Have Burnt Down

 

 

I bring this up today because I just sold some folks a house and we are closing in a week.  They have never seen the house.  Today I show it to them.  What if they don't like it!

With today's technology more and more people are previewing and maybe even buying houses without even a walk through.  In the case of my clients above, we did a Face Time walk through of every nook and cranny of the house.  They asked questions and I tried to do the best  I could to answer them.  


When we bought our house almost ten years ago technology wasn't as good.  We relied on static pictures that the agent had posted online in the listing and a walk through phone description from our daughter and son-in-law.  If we had been here we would have chosen this house?  I don't know.  It was the only one we ever looked at.  And here we are 10 years later still living here.  

The other house was a rehab.  We knew it was a major rehab just from the description of the seller of the house.  We were on our way to Dallas and the entire process was done over the phone without pictures.  Oops.  That one didn't turn out as good.  We did, however, do the rehab and rent it for a few years and later sold it without losing any money.  Probably won't do that again.

So back to my story for today.  In a few hours I get to show my clients the house that they bought sight unseen.  We have looked at other houses in person so I am pretty confident that they will like this house.  Still that little worry.....

Would you buy a house sight unseen?   Call me and I will help you through the process.  I am pretty good with Face Time!  Of course, if you arena't comfortable with that, I will gladly show you houses in person.  :-)
