As the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect our daily lives, the real estate industry has quickly and successfully adapted to meet the needs of home buyers and sellers. As a matter of fact, the housing market is booming due to high demand and low inventory.
Following these guidelines, my clients have continued to successfully and safely buy and sell real estate – and so can you!
1.Virtual Consultations and Contracts
Video meetings are an efficient and safe way to meet and discuss the client's real estate needs. This initial consultation will allow me to learn more about their wants and needs and together we can come up with a strategy to achieve their goals. When the time comes, contracts can be signed electronically.
3.Digital Marketing and Virtual Open Houses
Buyers can view and experience a home from the comfort of their own, through quality, high-resolution photography, a 3D walkthrough tour, video, and drone footage. A comprehensive digital marketing strategy ensures maximum exposure to home buyers. Virtual open houses are minimally invasive to homeowners and allow large groups of interested house hunters to view a home at once without any foot traffic. This reduces in-person showings to only serious candidates minimizing contact for both buyers and sellers.
3. Extra Sanitization Measures
The same social distance guidelines and mask requirements that apply to our trips to the grocery store, apply to showing and viewing homes. All parties attending a showing must wear a mask, sanitize their hands, social distance, and minimize touching. Additionally, a PEAD form, drafted and provided by the California Association of Realtors, must be signed by all parties entering the home confirming showing safety protocols.
