October 02 2015
As one of life's biggest investments, buying a new home involves many unknowns. Sure, someone may like a prospective home's kitchen, floor plan or humongous backyard, but buyers are also buying into the neighborhood as well. Are there noise issues? How are the neighbors? What about area amenities? It's hard to truly kick the tires of a home with so many area unknowns.
So what's a buyer to do? Turns out, Realtor.com and home-rental company AirBnB have a plan...
A real estate "test drive"
To ease the doubts associated with relocating, the Realtor.com and AirBnB partnership is offering a "try before you buy" feature for prospective homebuyers. The concept is simple. Find a home, then locate it on Realtor.com. Scroll down to the spot just above the map feature. There you'll find area AirBnB locations near the neighborhood of the home for sale. Nearby AirBnB locations are available on each home's listing page, allowing potential buyers the opportunity to select a property in the neighborhood they're looking to buy in and spend a few nights.
