Out-of-state buyers can complete almost every step of a Naples purchase remotely: video walkthroughs, electronic signatures, remote inspections and, with the right title company, mobile or remote notarization at closing. The risk to watch is wire fraud, so always confirm wiring instructions by phone with a number you already trust.
- Live video tours and detailed measurements can stand in for a first visit.
- Hire your own inspector and review association documents before the inspection period ends.
- Confirm any wiring instructions by phone using a number you already know.
- Plan for hurricane-season logistics and insurance early.
Touring from a distance
Mindy walks homes live on video, measures terraces and rooms, and photographs details listing photos skip. Many buyers narrow to two or three homes this way and visit once to confirm.
Offer, inspection and documents
Offers and contracts are signed electronically. Florida contracts include an inspection period, and for condominiums, a window to review association documents. Mindy coordinates your inspector and reads the association documents with you.
Closing at a distance
Many title companies offer remote or mobile closings. Before you wire funds, verify instructions by phone. Fraudulent emails that mimic a title company are a known risk.
