Real Estate: House Tours Continue: Online for Now - Plus Recent Home Sales

March is traditionally one of the biggest months of the year to list, sell and buy a home. Spring buyers customarily close in June and July, in time for the beginning of school in September.  But with the virus trapping most inside, how can the market adapt? According to some realtors, virtual house tours are the answer. These protect the sellers and the buyers from spreading the virus in this critical time.

See below from Brokerage Manager Brian Murray at Julia B. Fee Sotheby's in Scarsdale:

"We are requiring our agents to work remotely during this time and strongly encouraging them to utilize the technology we have in place to virtually tour our homes. I believe this is the most prudent and socially responsible action to take. With the health of our employees, agents and clients our greatest priority, our staff is continuing full business operations remotely and is able to fully support our clients and sales team. With the robust technology we have invested in over the years, we are equipped to deliver an unchanged, exceptional level of service.

In an effort to keep our agents, clients and the communities we serve safe, we are cancelling all of our upcoming open houses. ⁠But our technology effectively allows clients and agents to be in sync, 24/7. We are capable of hosting agent-guided virtual showings through superior video conferencing, enabling agents to quickly and easily invite potential home buyers to virtually tour homes with them. We can conduct business through online forms and transaction management. Our website showcases 3D tours, videos and photo galleries around the clock.

Our position is that our location has changed, but our commitment to our clients has not.

We are still seeing strong demand, low interest rates and an early spring market in these unprecedented times."
