Vacationing? Here is How to Buy or Sell a Home Remotely this Summer
By Renee Fyfe, Broker Associate Homequest #01999798
Summer is in full swing—and for many of us, that means travel plans, family road trips, or even a much-needed break from the daily routine. But just because you’re sipping a piña colada poolside or hiking through the red rocks of Sedona doesn’t mean your real estate goals have to be on pause.
Thanks to today’s technology and a proactive agent (👋🏼), buying or selling a home remotely is not only possible—it’s easier and more efficient than ever. If you’re planning to travel this summer but still want to make moves in the market, here’s how we can make it happen together:
🏠 For Home Buyers
1. Virtual Consultations & Showings
We’ll start with a video call to discuss your wish list, budget, and timeline. From there, I can schedule virtual tours—whether they’re live FaceTime walkthroughs or high-quality video previews—so you can view properties from anywhere in the world.
2. Electronic Offer Submissions
Found the one while you’re out of town? No problem. Offers can be drafted and signed digitally, often within hours. I’ll walk you through every term and contingency, just like I would in person.
3. Remote Inspections & Escrow
I’ll coordinate inspections, appraisals, and all necessary due diligence. You’ll receive digital reports, and I’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
4. Closing Options
In many cases, we can handle the closing process online and via a mobile notary—so you can close from the comfort of your Airbnb or hotel room.
🏡 For Home Sellers
1. Digital Prep & Marketing
Before you leave town, we can schedule professional photography, video, and even virtual staging. Your home will hit the market with maximum exposure through online platforms and targeted advertising—even while you’re off the grid.
2. Virtual Showings & Feedback
Interested buyers can view your home via 3D tours or guided virtual walkthroughs. I’ll share showing feedback with you in real-time and keep you updated on market activity.
3. Remote Negotiations & Document Signing
All contracts, counteroffers, and disclosures can be signed electronically. I’ll handle negotiations and keep you informed while you’re enjoying your travels.
4. Seamless Closing Support
From coordinating repairs to final walkthroughs, I’ve got you covered. You can close remotely with full confidence, even if you’re in another time zone.
