House hunting with FaceTime...
Zack Fountas bought a new one-bedroom apartment in White Plains, NY, from his home in Chicago, without ever having set foot inside the building, Candace Jackson reports on nytimes.com.
During an open house last summer, his sister-in-law and Joe Muller, an agent with Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty, gave Mr. Fountas a tour using FactTime, Jackson wrote.
Mr. Muller showed him around with his iPhone and then emailed a link with the listing photos and comparable sales nearby, Jackson added.
Mr. Fountas, who had not seen any other places in person, bid $142,000, and his offer was accepted, according to Jackson.
