FaceTime Home Buying

Hey everyone, as you can see from my title on this Facebook Live video, I am with a client of mine who purchased a home just recently and she never actually came to the home.

This is my good friend, Sandy Foster and she saw the home just through FaceTime. So I just want to ask her a couple questions and for anybody that might be outside of my work area, that is interested in buying a home, Sandy can tell you her experience.

So we were looking at homes and because you had come out the one time and we looked at a few, but then we just kept doing everything over the internet and we started doing FaceTime on the homes. How comfortable were you with just doing FaceTime to see the home and walk through the home?

It was a different experience, but it was something that was really comfortable because I was able to get my questions answered by you and doing it with FaceTime was almost like I was walking through the house. So I don’t know it didn’t seem odd at all, it was an easy thing to do, it was easier than flying over here and going through every house individually and I got an idea really quickly if it was something I wanted to continue to, you know, find out more information on or not.

And when I went through this one with you, I knew that this house was the one that I wanted. I just, you know, had a couple more questions about it. Anything I asked you, you answered and it was an easy experience, a very smooth experience.

It was pretty cool and I mean Sandy has been awesome to work with. You were concerned, in fact, you can see kind of the blue, there’s a blue paint to the walls and you were a little concerned. It turned out great, her furniture has turned out so, so good. Let me just show this furniture and anyway it’s turned out really good.

So anyway if you have any questions and like I say you’re outside of the Wasatch Front, the Wasatch back and you’re interested in real estate give me a call. Technology is awesome.

Yes, it was a great experience and I was not disappointed at all.

There’s a few other rollercoasters we went through, but in fact, really that was the easiest part. That was the smooth part; The smoothest part was seeing the home. So anyway have a great weekend everybody.

Best Regards,

Get to know Brian Olsen

I love doing real estate, I love helping people through the process. My favorite thing about being a Real Estate agent is meeting the people. It has been great to meet people from all walks of life, from all around the country and it’s always neat to get somebody through a transaction and into a property they want to purchase or out of a property they want to sell.

I once worked with a super neat family. They gave me all their criteria, just had a great meeting with them. They wanted to buy property in Wasatch County and we started looking there and for the budget and what they wanted, you know we just weren’t finding anything and we ended up going a little bit further south in Utah County. Then a little bit further south, and then finally down to Fairview. We found a home and it was just ideal and we got in the home the day it was listed and they ended up just finding a great home. They’ve said a couple times that I did everything right and that everything went perfect.

It really helps when you have somebody that’s as concerned about the process as you are. And that’s what I strive to have is that empathy and that concern that my client has in selling their property or in buying a property.

I’m very thorough some people say to an extreme, to make sure the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed. I really strive to communicate. I do what my clients need me to do. I want them to have a successful transaction and so I do feel like I work some overtime. I’ve made offers at ten, eleven o’clock at night, because as the client just stews and stews, okay what are we going to do? How are we going to respond? Finally at ten o’clock they’re saying will you help us do this? We want to get an offer sent in or we want to do something.

My optimism helps me to  look at things a little bit different. I just always feel like there’s a way to get a property sold or to find a property to purchase. There’s a way to find it whether I’m knocking on doors asking people if they’re interested in selling. There’s typically a way to find something for my client either to purchase or to sell a property and so I think my optimism helps me to maybe look outside the box and find a way.

It’s interesting because I love helping people and lots of times they never do become a client of mine. I’m comfortable helping people and it all comes back in the end. I mean what is it the golden rule of life you know, do to others what you would want them to do to you.

So I love being able to be a resource to people, and help them and give them information whether it’s about selling a property, or buying a property, getting water rights, getting an easement.

Real Estate really provides an avenue for me to serve a lot of people I think.

Best Regards,

Park City Rental Investment

Hey you guys hope you’re having a great Saturday morning. I am in Park City. and just wanted to share a couple thoughts with you.

I’m at a client’s home and I love Park City. it’s such a great place and I have a number of clients that are looking for investment properties and so I want to share a couple things to think about as you’re looking for investment properties.

My clients home is a fairly large home and one of the things to think about is that various HOAs and places here in Park City.won’t allow overnight rentals, and so what are you looking for you’re looking to rent the property nightly or do you just want a long-term renter a couple things to think about that way.

The second thing is everybody knows that the ski season, Sundance Film Festival times, those you can rent about any type of property you have; condo, large home, anything.

What we’re finding is during the summer the larger homes are renting a little bit better just because there’s a lot of family reunions and so anyway a couple things to think about.

I’d love to help you whether you’re looking to buy or sell in Park City. Park City is just a great place I love Park city and its really a good time to be looking at buying or selling property.

Anyway give me a call and I’d love to help you out.
