Earlier this year, in January, a Redfin survey showed that 63 percent of homebuyers in 2020 made an offer on a property they had not seen in person. That roundly smashed the 2019 record of 32 percent. Homebuyers have long searched for properties from a distance. But now homebuyers can take advantage of virtual tours and 3D imagery that have become a normal part of the home-buying process. In today’s real estate market, we recommend the following tips for buying a Charleston home remotely.
A real estate company based in Charleston gives you a competitive edge because local brokers and agents have the best understanding of what’s on the market and what’s ahead. Handsome Properties brokers and agents live and work in Charleston and have a thorough knowledge of the area and its real estate and market history. Many are long-time residents with extensive experience and contacts in the local real estate community. Buyers who are interested in historic homes will find that Handsome Properties has their pulse on historic properties and preservation efforts throughout the Lowcountry.
