The latest headlines and spread of illness is disrupting the daily lives of people worldwide. As people try to adjust, creativity and workarounds help keep the economy humming as best it can. From online classes to ebooks and podcasts, technology can help keep lives moving. It is no different in real estate. If you need to sell your home now versus waiting out the headlines, there are ways to move forward with listing and showing your home without ever letting anyone inside.
Long before Coronavirus (COVID-19) hit our neighborhoods, real estate tools took to the internet to reach more people and offer unique services. Choosing a REALTOR® to help you sell or buy this Spring and Summer of 2020 needs to include knowing what tools agents have to help you safely and competently navigate the current, unique market. The Cummings Team® can help; consider this when thinking of selling or buying a home soon:
- Online listings. With The Cummings Team®, your home is professionally photographed and, coupled with a professionally written property description, is entered into the Multiple Listing System that not only provides an online listing for the public to see in one place but also hundreds of public websites. Thanks to the network that REALTORS® have built and are members of, your home is marketed across the internet where people can take virtual tours but never set foot inside. In times like this, this is an essential factor in working with a licensed professional.
- The Cummings Team® guided tour. As a full-service real estate team, the Cummings Team® offers a personalized approach to selling your home. That includes offering potential buyers a virtual walk-through via video at a time when maintaining distance from each other and staying healthy is a top priority. Selling your home or buying that next house are not life events that can easily wait. Rest assured, we are here to help you safely and within your comfort level. A guided video tour is an excellent alternative to showings.
- E-signing. Signing a thick packet of documents has never been fun and is often inconvenient. However, over the past decade, e-signing has become increasingly accessible and, more often, the norm, in a real estate transaction. With COVID-19 creating person-to-person barriers, e-signing documents via an email link is becoming critical to ensure daily lives can move forward as much as possible. When listing your home or buying the next house, e-signing will allow The Cummings Team® to expertly handle business with less in-person contact.
If you have questions about real estate in this unprecedented time, please contact The Cummings Team®. Know that while headlines are changing the way we do business day-to-day, our team is still here for you. Be sure to ask us about how we can market your home for sale, show you homes, and e-sign as well as coordinate other appropriate, hands-off solutions such as mobile notaries, virtual meetings, or remote closings.
