If you would like to sell your Lake Martin home this spring, as your Lake Martin real estate agents, we are here and ready to help! Real estate isn’t quite business as usual, but it is considered an essential business and hasn’t stopped, so we are here to fill you in on the ‘new’ home-selling process for the time being.
Thanks to amazing technology available today, most of the home-selling process can be done virtually! We can discuss your goals and our plan of action over the phone or in a video chat. We have the technology to provide high-quality images and virtual tours for buyers to view online. We can discuss your level of comfort with having people in your home during this time.
What you will do – To prepare for the home-selling process, it is mostly business as usual for you. You can declutter your home, deep clean, organize, neutralize décor, and stage to sell. We can discuss staging techniques that will best appeal to buyers.
What we will do – We will create a virtual marketing plan to draw buyers in. This will include high-quality photos, accurate and detailed listing information on your home and neighborhood, high-quality virtual tours, social media posts, and video chats with you and potential buyers or buyer’s agents.
What options you have – We will discuss how comfortable you are with people entering your house right now. You can allow your agent to enter your home to do live video tours with potential buyers, you can allow agents and buyers to conduct private showings in your home, or you can request no one enter your home, and the entire process be done virtually. We can discuss all of these options together.
What safety precautions will be taken – The safety and health of everyone involved is a top priority for us, and we will be following all safety advice from CDC and our local government. Before anyone enters your home, we will first ask if they feel at all sick or have been around anyone who has been sick. We will require face masks be worn. We will require shoes be taken off at the door. We will require hand sanitizer or hand washing be conducted before and after.
The social distancing and business operation rules are quick to change right now, so as your Lake Martin real estate agents, we will continue to inform you on the latest, and to fill you in on all of your options as a seller, buyer or both this spring and summer!
If you have real estate goals you want to achieve, there is no need to put them off. Mortgage rates are near historic lows and buyers are using this extra time they have to browse listings. Fewer sellers are listing right now, but competition will sore when this is over. Your smartest move is to list now and get ahead of the competition!
