Top 5 tips for out of state home buyers
Are you considering buying a home out of state? Florida is an amazing place to live, work, and play, with thousands of individuals flocking here from out of state every year. But as an out-of-state buyer, you’ll be up against a few challenges.
Follow the tips below to make sure your out-of-state home purchase goes well.
Create a Plan
Moving out of state isn’t just about a new house, it’s about a whole new life. Make a list of all the ‘essentials’ in your daily life where you are now. Then map out where and how those will fit in your new location. Everything from groceries, to doctors, is important. The more you plan this out ahead of time, the less stressed you’ll be when you land in your new dream home.
Research, Research, Research!
With the internet at your very fingertips, there’s no excuse. Put in the time to research the area, cost of living (utilities, taxes, groceries, transportation, etc.), look into schools, local amenities, job opportunities, crime rates, and more.
Work with a Local Agent Specializing in ‘Out of State’ Purchases
Working with a real estate agent who is familiar with out-of-state buyers is a must. These agents will be able to walk you through the process, helping you navigate the nuances of moving from one state to another.
Leverage Technology
Until you can get there in person, use video and 3D walkthroughs or even VR walkthroughs of the home. Similarly, you can use Google Street view to travel throughout the town/city and neighborhood from afar.
