As a resident of Fairhope for over 10 years, I love living on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. Baldwin and Mobile County have so much to offer to its residents. Living in Baldwin & Mobile Counties and being active in the local communities, I have extensive knowledge and insight into the local market conditions and trends. I am a strong communicator, skillful negotiator, and a detailed oriented agent. Bottom line, I love being a Realtor and I will always get the job done for you and keep your best interest in mind.

Shopping online for your dream home can be an exciting yet daunting experience. While browsing through listings, it’s important to avoid common mistakes that could lead to regret later on. Let’s delve into a couple of these pitfalls and how to steer clear of them.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when searching for their dream home online is relying solely on photos to make their decision. While photos are crucial for giving you a glimpse of the property, they can’t capture everything. Imagine passing over a listing because the photos didn’t immediately grab your attention, only to later discover that it had the perfect backyard for your family gatherings or a spacious kitchen perfect for your culinary adventures.

In today’s digital age, neglecting virtual tours is another common mistake. Virtual tours provide a 360-degree view of the property, allowing you to explore every nook and cranny from the comfort of your own device. By utilizing virtual tours, you can gain a better sense of the flow and layout of the home, helping you make a more informed decision before scheduling an in-person viewing.

Don’t let a few snapshots or the lack thereof deter you from exploring a potential gem. By utilizing virtual tours and delving deeper into listings, you can make a more informed decision and increase your chances of finding the perfect home.
