What Pandemic? Selling/Buying a Home During the Covid19 Crisis
COVID19 has had a major impact on everyone's life whether we like to believe it or not. One thing it really hasn't changed, however, is the buying and selling of real estate. If anything, it has streamlined the process making it much easier for both the agent and the buyer/seller to achieve their ultimate goal.
Choosing a Home
Taking a Virtual Tour and Avoid COVID19 and Real Estate Restrictions
Once you have chosen a home you are interested in, you no longer have to call your agent and make an appointment. Just click on the image of the home you like and you will have access to all of the information you need as well as numerous photos of every room, angle of the property, and maybe even a few aerial shots for added measure. Many agents will go to the home and allow you to video chat with them as they perform a walkthrough. This allows them to show the home's amenities and gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have in the process.
Video, Stills, and Drone Photography
The blending of COVID19 and real estate has given real estate agents an opportunity to utilize several of the tools they have at their disposal. Video chatting allows you to work with them in real-time, viewing the home, and gathering the information you will need to make an informed decision. Still images give you an opportunity to see the home without rushing. Lastly, drone photography allows you to see the lawn, roof, and other important features that may have not been viewable during a traditional walk-through. Drone photography also advantages for commercial real estate as well.
Sealing the Deal
Once you have viewed a home virtually, you may make the decision to take a traditional tour. If you are concerned about COVID19 and don't want to risk possible exposure, you will more than likely have the information you need to make your decision without having to leave the security of your home. It's easy to take advantage of the connection between COVID19 and real estate.
