Selling a home during a period of social distancing presents challenges never before seen in the real estate industry, but our knowledgeable and attentive agents can help you navigate these uncharted waters. Many buyers are not leaving their home, and many are using their savings to maintain their daily lives. That does not mean that buyers are not out there.
Mortgage rates are still competitive, and many competing sellers are pulling their homes off of the market. Because there are a limited number of buyers, that allows a buyer to negotiate a little bit tighter; however, as a seller, you have part of the limited inventory.
Selecting one of our agents is an important first step in the home selling process. Our office keeps at the forefront of changing trends in the housing industry. Virtual tours, remote tours, and procedures for preparing a home for showings in an occupied home change daily. Small tasks like leaving cabinet doors open for a buyer to see in can make a world of difference, when it is not what we have always done.
Small changes can sometimes be significant. For example, some closing attorneys will only allow signers to attending closing during this health crisis. We are also able to perform virtual tours for our clients if they wish to stay at home during the narrowing process.
An online presence is essential. Bel-Cross Properties moved almost exclusively to online marketing to meet the buyers of today. This experience gives us an advantage to quickly adapt to new technologies and techniques to get your home sold.
Most paperwork can be done electronically or through the mail. Electronic contracts will provide you with digital copies for your records and provide process tracking to see what stage signatures are being compiled, much like a package tracker from UPS or FedEx.
Other fields in the real estate industry, such as appraisers, home inspectors, attorneys, and loan officers are also performing their jobs to help you get to the closing table.
