WHAT IS A "LONG DISTANCE PURCHASE"
And Why Would I Want to Do That to Myself? 

Buying or building a home from a distance isn’t for everyone but it’s becoming increasingly common simply because buying or building "ahead" offers several advantages to the out-of-area buyer.

It secures the type of home you want without having to worry about being limited to just what's available when you arrive.

It guarantees the ability to move the family and household goods directly into your new home with having to pay for interim housing or storage.

In rising markets, starting construction early will assure that you get a better price and location than if you wait until arrival to start.

These transactions do require a great deal of local supervision by agents with a particular skill set

Technical Knowledge - Formal training and experience in construction, management, valuation, inspection and knowlege of Residential Energy Efficiency

Communications Skills – The ability to exchange information in a variety of formats - documents, blueprints, photography, videos or conferencing.

Area and Market Knowledge - How much real estate experience does the agent have in Mountain Home and how familiar is the agent with Current Market Conditions?

Reliability - Can you trust your agent to follow up on all the details from helping you pick your kitchen sink to making sure that the heat is on when you pull in at 3:00 A.M.? Can you be sure that you'll get regular updates?
