For Buyers
The Absentee Owner
Oh, the joys of home ownership!
Many Outer Banks investors are absentee homeowners and rarely
are there any problems. However, if you are an absentee owner,
I recommend that you make arrangements to have your home checked
periodically. Pipes can burst during cold weather, storms can
blow off hot tub covers - it is impossible to foresee the vast
array of incidents that could occur at your Outer Banks home
when you are not here.
If your home is in a rental program, your property management
company probably provides of all the services you need to care
for your property. Make sure you check with the management company
to find out which items are included in your management fee and
which services are subject to an additional charge.
If your home is not in a rental program and you are unable to
come down monthly, please contact
me if you need this type of service as I have a list of vendors
who offer cottage care. Outer Banks real estate is an investment
and investments must be protected.
