“By leveraging the network of more than 1.49 billion daily users through Facebook, we will be enabling our sales professionals to reach the widest audience of potential buyers possible,” said Vincent Socci, Chief Operating Officer of William Pitt-Julia B.

Leveraging technology is core to successfully adapting to a COVID world.”

Agents can then post the finished videos to their Facebook business pages allowing for further views over time.

“Our first ever regional virtual open house enables consumers to step into the beautiful homes we represent without ever leaving their own,” said Paul Breunich, President and Chief Executive Officer of William Pitt-Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty. “We are excited to host the region’s largest open house event this weekend and anticipate many more to come. It’s just one example of our ability to handle every stage of the real estate process today—from showing to closing—in a virtual world.”
