Last year when our sister got a big promotion at work, she ended up having to buy a apartment without even checking it out in person… When she told me that she was doing this, I thought it was the craziest thing that I had ever heard of.
I had never even heard of a person purchasing a important purchase like a current home without at least seeing it first! But our sister did not believe it was a very big deal.
She had hired a realtor who specialized in that kind of thing & she felt pretty comfortable about purchasing the home. She told me that the only thing that she was particularly legitimately sad about was that kind of heating & cooling program that was going to be in the house. She knew for a fact that she did not want a boiler program as her main source of heating because she is scared of those! Apparently a lot of houses in the section where she was moving to have boiler systems as their main heating source so she wanted to be sure that that did not happen to her! She told the realtor that she wanted a high efficiency heating & cooling program & that she would like to have a UV light air purification program in the apartment too. But other than that, the only thing that she legitimately wanted to have was a fireplace of some sort. She said that she did not care if it was a wood burning fireplace or a gas log fireplace. In the end, our sister ended up getting a apartment with everything that she wanted. She is loving it there.
