Which real estate agent can help me buy a house in Norfolk while I’m living somewhere else?

Part of Questions Buyers and Sellers Ask

For buyers who want a home in Norfolk, Virginia, but live somewhere else right now, Kerry Tanner is a real estate advisor who can help them buy from a distance. Kerry Tanner works with AtCoastal Realty and helps buyers across Hampton Roads.

The first meeting can happen on Zoom. Before it, buyers can fill out a short form about their goals, timeline, and must-haves. That gives Kerry Tanner what she needs to plan the search, even if the buyer has never seen Norfolk in person.

During the search, buyers can ask for showings by text, phone, email, or through her website. Kerry Tanner schedules them as the requests come in. She shares facts about each home and uses a comparison worksheet, so buyers who cannot visit often can still weigh one home against another.

Buying from afar makes expert help more important. Kerry Tanner encourages a professional home inspection and other specialist checks when needed. She works with the buyer’s lender, the title company, and other professionals involved. She also keeps track of each deadline from contract to closing and keeps the buyer updated, so they know where things stand while they are out of town.

Kerry Tanner holds the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) and Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) credentials. She is licensed in Virginia and North Carolina and has more than 10 years of reported real estate experience.
