Coronavirus may be with us for a while. Many of our practices predate the Covid outbreak & the industry has added to these.

‘STAY OUT OF MY HOUSE UNLESS I GIVE YOU PERMISSION’ – Yes sellers, you can do this!

Here are recent tools and trends:

• Many if not most home tours currently are excluding ‘tire kickers’. Most “agent remarks” in the MLS now require buyers have &/or submit:
  • pre-approval (proof of ability to purchase) to set a viewing appointment.
  • submit a Covid disclosure w/ proof of funds prior to confirming appointment.
  • bring no more than 1 agent and 2 attendees into the home.
  • touch nothing upon entry/ tour/ exit
  • have mask over nose & mouth during tour, gloves & shoe/foot coverings.
  • open nothing, switch on/off nothing
  • have inspector &/or later ‘touch’ inspection after acceptance of offer
  • inspections that typically have only the inspector and a videographer present for such, not ‘anyone and everyone’ as in the past.
  • buyer home tour waivers that require those viewing home attest they have “…during the last 14 days, [not] … been exposed to, diagnosed with or quarantined as a result of COVID-19 or have experienced a fever, cough, shortness of breath … [or other such symptoms] “
• Offer packets will acknowledge Covid with realistic contingencies
• For Buyers:
  • 
  • COVID-Purchase Agreement Addendum
  • Showing certification and release buyer
• For Sellers:
  • 
  • Seller Listing Agreement Addendum regarding showings

We still use these “Virtual” tours, distant purchasing, pre-screened services as we have for over a decade:

• We create a private YourSpace247 portal – similar to banks, only better.
• Post/ email on-market & sold comps for you.
• Offer ‘we drive & video the area, you watch’.
• For sellers, we offer ‘walk thru buyer tours’, for buyers as well if available and appropriate.

Especially of use for our of town buyer and sellers:

• With comps we post many photos & videos as needed to discuss with you.
• Live spreadsheets.
• Walk thru tours with your inspector, licensed contractor, etc, with QnA during the walk about, encouraging your input.
• Documents live to your portal (and/or email) for your evaluation/ sign/ return, etc.
• All these types of processes are in place, thru and including closing.

An example of how this actually worked? We had a buyer from CA purchase a lakefront home here in SE MI without stepping foot in or having driven by the property.

SAMPLE WALK THRU:

example is from a home we sold.

LOTS of apps we can use or not as you are comfortable with: pdf creators, smartphone doc scanning, google docs, Skype/ Line, TeamViewer, Zoom, Google meeting, etc.
