She could also tell us if had any obvious problems or bad smells which was very important to us. We worked w her for almost 5years so she really new what we liked and wanted. We could not be any happier with our purchase. We never thought we would never purchase a property site unseen, never say never.
TednRobin, Congratulations on your closing! Great that you found a realtor you put so much faith in. Did you use a TV sales agent or an MLS realtor? I've looked online at a lot of homes for sale in TV. Most of the turnkey homes have nicer furniture than what I have now (decorating is not my forte). I would definitely consider buying turnkey to keep the moving costs down and to cut down on the "settling in" tlme.
