You're not alone. I’m Glen Nadeau – and every week, I work with buyers from across the country – and around the world – who are navigating the Palm Springs real estate market from a distance. In this video, I walk you through exactly how to start a non-local home search the right way: from defining your purpose and securing the right financing, to virtual tours, desert-specific inspections, and remote closings. In this video, I also cover the Palm Springs real estate factors that surprise most out-of-town buyers – including Indian lease land vs. fee simple ownership, short-term rental permit caps by neighborhood, and how seasonal market timing affects your strategy and leverage as a buyer. Whether you're looking for a vacation home, a retirement investment you can rent out now and live in later, or a full-time relocation to one of California's most iconic desert cities – this video will give you a clear, honest picture of how the process works and what to expect. 🤔 Where are you watching from right now? I'm curious how many of you are planning a Palm Springs purchase from across the country – or internationally. Let me know in the comments below...
