About a week ago, a client reached out about a property that seemed like a great deal on the internet.  And they weren’t wrong- it was a great deal!  They wanted a REALTOR® to represent them to submit an offer on the property.  They had never been to the area but had been researching it for years!  They were finally ready to pull the trigger and buy their Wilmington home.

This client was not going to be able to come to the area to see the property before submitting an offer, but from the pictures, the location and the description, they were sold!  A BlueCoast REALTOR® asked them to sleep on it and give them time to get to the property, video some important areas and get back to them.

Fortunately, when the REALTOR® viewed the property, they were able to learn that the property neighbored a chicken farm that was not shown on the map or in the pictures.  While some clients would not mind this, this client decided that they did not want to live next to the possible smell or possible noise.  This is something they would not have otherwise known and may not have enjoyed living in the property after purchasing.
