Does anybody really buy "sight unseen" any more? With the internet and digital photography it costs exactly $0.00 to send a dozen, a hundred, a thousand photos to a prospective buyer, assuming they have contact with someone locally, eg the real estate agent. You can use Google Earth to check out the area (in some cases) and access forums to ask questions about the feel of the neighborhood. It's easier than it used to be!
