My brother ended up buying a house sight unseen last year when he was going to have to move across the country for work.
The whole thing was really weird, but He said that he was willing to do it.
He said that it was going to be a big adventure, and I can’t really argue with him there! I can’t think of anything that would be more of an adventure actually. He needed to buy a house before he got there, but he didn’t have time to go and look for a place before he moved. My brother ended up talking to a really great realtor who specialized in doing these types of long distance moves, and he was able to find a fantastic house in the new location without ever having to see it first. He told the realtor that he wanted a house with three bedrooms, a pool, and a high efficiency heating and cooling system. He said that he didn’t care as much about the pool or the extra bedroom, but he was very specific about having a great high efficiency heating and cooling system in the new house. He really wanted to be sure that he was going to be able to get a good deal on his heating and cooling bills once he got moved in. I thought that was interesting, but my brother is kind of a weird guy. I haven’t been out to his new house yet, but he says that the place that he ended up with is fantastic. He has a high efficiency heating and cooling system, a pool, a wood burning fireplace, and radiant heated flooring in parts of the house.
