Searching for a condo in Oxford is not without its difficulties, but it’s not impossible. Actually, modern technology has made much of the home buying process as close to physical engagement as possible.

To find a condo in Oxford before someone else does, get an agent!

You will need an agent to keep you posted on new listings that fit your purchasing profile as they come to market. While you can try this step alone, you will likely miss out on new listings and chase listings that already have a contract in place. Moreover, unrepresented buyers will not have access to pricing expertise nor guidance in navigating legal paperwork.

Listing photos don’t always capture what you’ll see through the windows. By connecting with an agent, you can have the agent walk though the space while live video streaming to observe the condition of a specific appliance or the distance to the neighbor’s property. For out of state buyers, this may be the best way to prevent missing out on a property to purchase.

Showing a property from video is an over-growing trend in real estate. Read here about how drone aerial footage can be used to show a property.

Electronic signature

A buyer can complete a remote offer using a secure online electronic signature. Many REALTORS are sending purchase and sale agreements, offers to purchase, refinance documents, letters of the loan preapproval, and property condition disclosure statements for electronic signing. A buyer’s signature is timestamped to provide accurate notification to all parties. The electronic copy is legally binding. In addition, attorneys can handle remote closings using overnight mail to deliver secure documents for signature.
