What country property buyers ask
A buyer looking at a country house or dacha is evaluating the journey, whether the road is passable in winter, what utilities exist — water, gas, electricity, sewerage — and whether the property is usable year-round or only in summer. Listings that show a summer photograph and a price conceal exactly the facts that determine whether the purchase is a pleasure or a problem, which produces disappointed buyers and a market full of resales.
What we build for a suburban agency
First, listings with plot size, utilities and year-round usability stated, since that is the difference between a house and a summer shed. Second, distance, route and winter access information, the question every buyer asks and few listings answer. Third, seasonal photography, because a property photographed only in May misrepresents itself. Fourth, viewing arrangements with route guidance, as these properties are hard to find and a wasted trip loses the buyer.
