Warning! There May Be A Hidden Camera...

With the rapid integration of video and Internet-connected devices, one Big Change in the Home Buying process is not necessarily getting the recognition it deserves - namely, the possibility that your visit to a home for sale may be recorded by the home owner! 

To be sure, the home owner may very well be concerned about theft if items in their home, and we don't ever want any of our customers to be involved with thievery.  However, it is potentially a bit of "thievery" on the part of the home-owner if they capture the feelings and intent of the home buyer with respect to this particular home - especially if the details of an offer are being discussed with your real estate broker.

I rarely see in a listing's remarks to brokers that video or audio recording devices are present in the home.  Thus, the best advice I can give at this time is: while you are inside that home that you absolutely love and want to submit an offer for, to be circumspect in your remarks about that home or your plans for an offer.

I welcome your thoughts, questions and comments!
