Are you a frequent online shopper? If so, you’re not alone. In the past few decades, online shopping has gone from being non-existent to becoming a multibillion-dollar industry. Even homebuyers have used online shopping to help with their real estate purchases, with 50% of buyers finding their homes through the Internet in 2018.
There is, of course, a difference between finding a home online and buying a home. But, buying a home virtually is not impossible! Howard Hanna Simon Real Estate Agents can make it happen. To make this option easier than ever, we currently offer a variety of online and digitally based resources that are easy to use, no matter where you are. Many of them will even allow you to work with a real estate agent remotely.
If you are looking into buying a home this season, these are some of the resources at Howard Hanna that will help you, and our agents, get the job done:
