A sight unseen transaction is one where the buyer purchases something without seeing it in person. In business, this can refer to purchasing goods wholesale, such as ordering products online or through a catalog. Synonyms for this type of transaction include blind transaction, remote purchase, virtual deal, and unseen transaction. Each of these synonyms describes the act of buying something without physically seeing it beforehand. In real estate, sight unseen transactions are becoming more common, particularly in markets where buyers are investing in properties as income-producing assets. With the use of virtual tours and online documentation, buying without seeing is becoming more feasible and accessible.
