Understanding what to expect from the virtual tour is helpful when buying Highlands NC real estate. More often than not, the buying process starts with a virtual tour these days. Additionally, a virtual tour is helpful for the vacation home market when many buyers are searching from afar. While a virtual tour is not the same as an in-person tour, it can certainly help determine whether an in-person showing is desired. An experienced Highlands NC REALTOR will be helpful with the virtual tour process and can answer questions throughout the tour.

Virtual tour as a first step

A virtual tour of a Highlands NC home for sale is a great first step. This can be from a video on a website or from a REALTOR walking through the home in real-time. A live virtual tour is ideal because you a REALTOR can pause to look at specific features and answer questions as he goes. A live tour also enables a buyer the opportunity to ask his REALTOR to show both the neighborhood and the setting. Taking advantage of asking questions and getting details is an important aspect of a virtual tour.

Not everything can be experienced virtually

Looking at a Highlands NC home virtually allows the basics of a home to be seen and experienced. However, the tangible stuff, opening doors, hearing the sounds of the setting, and experiencing the overall feel of a home cannot occur virtually. A virtual tour may not expose the flaws of a home either. However, a home inspection will take place when a home is under contract, which will allow a buyer to understand the exact condition of the property.
