Soldier's are buying homes; sight unseen using video.
WELCOME HOME RETURNING SOLDIERS!
THERE ARE GREAT HOMES AVAILABLE, AND READY FOR YOU TO MOVE INTO
AS SOON AS YOU RETURN HOME!!!
Soldier's are buying homes; sight unseen using video.
I'd like to tell you about a wonderful example of several deployed soldiers's stationed in Iraq who searched for and purchased a home before coming back to the states. Using the current technology availible it is now possible, and Soldier's are buying homes; sight unseen using video. The use of VIDEO and pictures, if done properly, can give you an up close look; good enough to buy with confidence sight unseen.
Technology has not only given us great visuals, it has allowed us the ability to transact the complete real estate purchase and sale contract ONLINE.
One of the Soldier's in this story was so creative; not having the use of a scanner or a fax machine, he used the camera on his cell phone to send back the signed documents as ( pictures). Who says you have to use a fax machine.
You might be wondering, why didn't he just wait to get back? The reason Soldier's are buying homes, sight unseen using video is, with the knowledge of thousands of troops returning soon to Joint Base Lewis McChord, Soldiers are wanting to make sure they don't get the left overs. They want to take advantage of our current real estate market, and they want to take advantage of the low interest rates and great deals, not to mention they are still receiving the $8,000 tax credit.
The deals are out there. The Soldier bought his home for $280,000 from a seller who had paid over $400.000 for the same home only 3 years earlier.
The secret to making this work is; your agent needs to be PRO- ACTIVE and looking for DEALS everyday like a hawk.
Your agent needs to be willing to use all of the available technology to conduct the transaction, including VIDEO.
Your agent must be willing to receive documents from remote facilities with opposite time zone issues. This would be a FULL-TIME agent; in the case of this example a BUYERS agent working JUST for you the BUYER.
So maybe now you can see why Soldier's are buying homes, sight unseen using video; because THEY CAN.
Check out the VIDEO below, you will see a real live example of an agent using a video camera helping a Soilder to buy a home.

Don't wait 20 years to visit Pike Place Market
Some of you may already know, but Seattle is one of the most laid back cities in the country. My friend Lois believes it's the coolest place on the Planet. Don't wait 20 years to see Pike Place Market. There are also a lot of tourist attractions and trades that draw people to Seattle from around the world. One of the major tourist and local attractions is Pike Place Market, located in Downtown just off the water. For those of you who are considering moving or visiting the Great Northwest, don't overlook the obvious.
As you will see in the video, my friend Lois and I had a blast for less than $20.00. We had a great lunch, with a water view, and did not even have to drive. Many people move to new areas with the intention of visiting all of the major tourist attractions and never end up getting around to it because of life's many diversions that add up over the years, but don't wait 20 years to see Pike Place Market.
With the recently added metro trains, it makes it very convenient to get to and from Downtown Seattle. It's also very inexpensive and easy to use. Like many other metro systems, they have passes you can purchase at a low monthly cost or you can pay per trip. I also recommend you get a chance to ride around on the trains to get an exquisite view of the city and the beautiful surrounding areas.
The other thing I really like is the diversity of people and cultures. In the video you will hear some really original music. I call it "The Sounds of the Market". Take a look and listen. Then you too will see why I am telling you, Don't wait 20 years to see Pike Place Market.
When thinking about the Pacific Northwest, Seattle is first to come to mind. The essence of the city all comes together when looking out to Puget Sound from downtown. Remember why it is that you came to live here, take a little time with an old friend, laugh, eat, and enjoy.
Don't wait 20 years to see Pike Place Market, life is to short. When window shopping with a friend you really get the chance to celebrate their style without spending a dime. That's fun!!!

As your Millitary Specialist acheiving your goals is my number one objective. Helping to finding that perfect balance, your families needs, and your investment opportunities.
There is one thing I can say for sure. "I love people, and I love houses".
That statement has been true about me as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, I use to go "trick- a- treating" just to get a peek inside of beautiful homes. I know that may sound weird as a kid but that passion for appreciating houses has brought me to a place of service. A Carree that I believed I was destined to have. I am living my passion, and nothing gives me greater joy than seeing that smile on your face when we find "the one." I am a BUYERS agent.
What better way for you to get a glimps at who Debra Ann is than for you come over to my house. So I wrote a blog, I called it "Realtors Unveiled", check it out. I invite you in the video to come over to my house.
I would also like for you to take a look at the opening video in my website. I have dedicated this to my buyers, I have developed many lifelong realtionships with my past clients because of the compassion and caring I bring to bear in serving their real estate needs. It is always my greatest compliment for my clients to become my friends.
I have been in the Real Estate Industry for more than 9 years. Several years prior to my becoming a licensed real estate agent I was a branch manager of a local mortgage company. My knowledge of how the loan process works has proven an invaluable asset in assisting you in understanding both the real estate and mortgage ends of the transaction. As your Military home buying agent more than 70% of my business comes from Active and Non Active Military buyers. I have extensive knowledge of closing sales using VA loans. I love working with first time home buyers, as well as Military Officers with many years of experience buying homes. I have also prided myself in staying in front of the technology wave that is changing the face of real estate. Check out by blog on how I have helped many Soldiers buy homes while deployed using VIDEO.
For many years prior to my involvement in real estate I was involved in the home furniture and home decorating industry. The skills I bring from this background has also a invaluable in working with our sellers. Although my area of expertise is working as a buyers agent, I also work as a team with my husband who works primarily as a listing agent. I earned the Accredited Staging Professional (ASP) designation and have been able to put that to use. There have been many instances in which were able to obtain higher prices for homes we sold because of our staging efforts.
Beautiful homes are my passion and I get pleasure in making our Sellers homes their sell-able best.
