It’s a virtual world out there; thankfully, we weren’t born yesterday.
We’re almost at the end of 2020, a challenging year that has forced us all to operate a little differently; most everything in the real estate world is done virtually these days, but for us here at the Santiago Group in Key West, that just means business as usual.
One of the great things about our group is that we’ve had tons of practice operating virtually—long before the pandemic turned everyday life upside down. Whereas most agents are just now learning how to do proper walk-through videos and virtual tours via apps like FaceTime, we’re already well accustomed to such things. That’s because we routinely work with buyers who purchase sight unseen or don’t visit our area until their inspection period. For those clients, we need to relay not only the look of a home but also the overall feel of its neighborhood.
Convenience, privacy, and safety matter now more than ever, so access to a robust toolkit of virtual technology is key.
Sellers also benefit from working with agents who can seamlessly move through most phases of a transaction virtually. If, for example, a seller doesn’t want every single interested person walking through their home, they may want us to offer virtual tours so we can weed out looky-loos and quickly identify the most qualified buyers. Convenience, privacy, and safety matter now more than ever, especially to sellers still living in their for-sale home, so access to a robust toolkit of virtual technology is key.
If you’re a buyer or seller who wants to make their next move as safe and timely as possible, consider working with a tech-savvy team like ours. If you have questions about this or any other real estate topic, please feel free to give us a call or send an email. We’re always happy to help!
