The reach of the internet

It's a little frightening, but also very cool.  Last week, yahoo.com had an article about the ability to purchase a home for the same price as a car.  Because I am a premier agent on Zillow.com which is part of yahoo, the article somehow got linked to me and homes in the Two Rivers area.  I was getting e-mails from all over the world!  Really!  China, Germany, UK, India and many states across the US were the locations of the e-mail addresses.  I did receive a few phone calls as well from people in the US.  It was difficult at first to believe that this was all legitimate, I thought that I was definitely the victim of scamming, but after some research and many questions, it turned out to be actual inquiries.  What I want to know is this, would someone really buy a home without having seen it?  Or, knowing about the area?  Would one really trust a stranger to explain the home, the amenities and problems of the home and the location?  Would a person from Dubai actually do this?  If so, then I am completely baffled by it and give me a call!  I'm your Realtor!  Let's buy that house!

Home touring day

While viewing homes the other day, the buyers and I came across this renovated farm house.  Part of the home had been recently remodeled but they did not finish the entire home.  Obviously they left the basement as it was in 1945!  Look at these jars of canned items!  Note to self: date home canned goods!
