New Schwabe Group Podcast Highlights Buying a Home Out of Town

The latest installment of the real estate podcast series "Your Local Homebuying Compass" looks at how to remotely search for and purchase a home. The episode is primarily aimed at those who are relocating and those buying a vacation home. Featuring Realtor David Schwabe of The Schwabe Group Compass, the podcast series is currently in its second year of production.

The newly released episode covers a variety of topics related to buying a home in another part of the country, including how to find an agent and which online resources buyers should use to find information about schools and neighborhoods.

"Buying a home is a very stressful process and one that requires a lot of trust in the people you're working with," Schwabe said. "But the stress and level of trust you need in your agent is elevated when you're looking for a home in a town you can't regularly visit. Your agent needs to understand exactly what you are - and aren't - looking for, so communication and trust is key."

In the podcast, Schwabe answers questions about the legal challenges of purchasing a home in another state and whether or not homebuyers need to be physically present at the offer, the inspection, and the closing.

Schwabe has more than 20 years' experience in the local real estate market, and The Schwabe Group includes more than a dozen agents working from the Arlington Heights office. As a part of Compass, a real estate technology company, The Schwabe Group has a number of tools at their disposal to help individuals buy or sell their homes remotely. Schwabe will cover the ways in which his team can assist in these instances.

"Over the years, I've accrued a lot of knowledge about homebuying and selling in the Chicagoland area," Schwabe said. "The more I can share that knowledge with others, the stronger our community grows."

"Your Local Homebuying Compass" podcast series provides information on all aspects of the real estate market. Recent episodes have focused on 2023 market trends, home inspections, and buying a home that needs work. All podcasts can be found at www.schwabegroup.com/team-podcast.
