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!
