Buyers: Ask These 6 Questions During a Video Tour
Technology has revolutionized nearly all aspects of our lives, including how we can buy and sell real estate. Whether you're purchasing a home from out of state, of you'd like to remain as socially distanced as possible during your home search, virtual tours are effective ways to house hunt without leaving your own home. If you're planning to attend a virtual tour, our agents insist that you ask these six questions during a video tour.
- Could we see a close up of these specific areas?
When you're engaging in a video tour, you need to approach the walk-through as if you're in the house. Ask to see close-ups on various features like appliances, countertops, cabinetry, and fixtures. If you spot anything that looks damaged or dirty, ask your agent to give you a little more detail. This is especially important if certain areas of the home may require repairs. Although an inspection should catch most of these issues, it never hurts to ask your agent for their report.
