There's no way around, it pcsing is hard! If your pcsing to Joint Base Charleston,
I have a program that's going to make your life so much easier...
stay tuned!
Hey I'm Bill Olson a REALTOR® with ERA Wilder Realty here in Charleston and I'm
going to tell you about a program that I have that can greatly benefit you if
you're moving into the area from somewhere else, or even if you're just
moving down the street. In my years of being a preferred REALTOR® for both Navy
Federal's Realty Plus program and USAA's Real Estate Rewards program I have
helped numerous military clients move into and out of the Charleston area when
PCS'ing in or out of Joint Base Charleston. One thing that I've learned
that is a giant hurdle is the timeframe. Now, you're not given much time to come
into the area. Not only do you have to figure out what your job is gonna be, but
learn the area, look around, figure out where you want to live, find
a house and then you have to leave. That's a lot to do especially with all
the different areas. There's Summerville, Ladson, John's Island, James Island Mount
Pleasant, West Ashley, Hanahan, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner. There's so many different
places and you have to learn all of that in just a few days and try and see all
these houses. Because of all of this, most people just end up renting because it's
easier. Well if you're renting you're not building wealth for your future. It's not
uncommon to buy a house and in four years pocket ten maybe even twenty
thousand dollars based on the appreciation of the market and if you've
done any upgrades to the home. That's a lot of money. Something that you would
lose out on if you were renting. So how am I gonna help you find a home quicker
and save you time? Virtual Reality House Hunting. And here's how it works. You're
gonna tell me what you're looking for in a home...number of bedrooms, bathrooms,
square footage, price, area, and I'm gonna send you a list of homes that fit your
needs. When you see something that you like and you really want to see, I'm
going to go over to the house with my
360 degree video camera and I'm gonna take a video that looks just like this. I
will walk through the home from the front yard, inside, and into the back yard
and I'll be able to tell you whether you know there's dogs barking next door,
there's an amateur mechanic on the other side who has 15 cars in his yard or
maybe the house smells like cat pee and or cigarette smoke. Because when you look
at photos online they're only showing you what the seller wants you to see.
They don't want you to know all these things. Then after I upload the video,
I'll send you a link and you'll be able to view it right on your phone. You can
open it in YouTube and scroll around with your finger, you can use your iPad,
you can use your laptop and scroll and you'll be able to look from floor to
ceiling and all the way around. Or, all of my clients get a complimentary pair of
these, virtual reality goggles. This is the funnest way to look at these homes.
How it works is you'll pull up the video on your phone, then you're gonna slide your
phone right into the goggles and then you'll be able to walk around the house
with me and see everything I see and more. Whether you want to look at the
ceiling or the type of floors, countertops, everything. Mind you this
isn't just a slideshow walkthrough this is a full 360-degree tour to get you
better acquainted with this home to see if it really does fit your needs. This is
the future of home buying and the best part is this service is completely free
to all of my clients. When you decide to work with me this is what you get. You're
already buying a house and I get compensated by the sellers agent at
closing so you don't owe me a penny for my services. Now you know what to do when
you're moving here from out of the area but what do you know about the VA loan
process? Not a problem! I've created a free guide that you can download
from the link below to get you started. What credit score do you need, what kind
of down payment (psst it's zero) and what other factors go into the va loan process. As a
preferred REALTOR® for Navy Federal and USAA, I am very aware of what the VA
process is and I can help make this as smooth as possible for you. If you like
this video please like, comment and share with your friends and if you really
liked it please subscribe to my channel below. I put out a great content every
Monday about not just VA home buying but the Charleston area and buying and
selling real estate as well. Have a wonderful day and we look forward to
seeing you next time bye!
