Netflix vs Real Estate [Live Video Tours]

Written by Brett O'Daniell | Apr 4, 2020 1:39:39 AM

With the current state of the country, the fact is that most of us are staying at home for an indeterminate amount of time.

While we make the most of it by having virtual happy hours with our friends and family or watching livestream performances of our favorite artists, many of us are also wondering how this affects our homeownership dreams.  Agents across the country are canceling open houses, and no one knows what the market will look like when the pandemic ends. 

Agents typically rely on person-to-person interactions to show listings and close deals. Different government officials throughout the country, however, have issued different orders to help reduce the spread of coronavirus, making open houses or home tours difficult if not impossible or even illegal.

Especially during times of social distancing, there are different options to achieve your homeownership dreams.  Everyone's journey home is different, but home shoppers still must evaluate the true condition and value of prospective homes before making an offer.  With open houses and in-person home tours becoming more difficult to execute, buyer’s advocacy is even more of a challenge.
 
Live Video Tours
As a solution, allowing potential homebuyers to tour via video and/or a shared presentation is a great way for buyers and agents to explore and discover the condition of for-sale homes together.  Live Video Tours give prospective buyers the opportunity to stay safely at home while an agent gives a LIVE VIDEO TOUR of a for-sale home they are interested in.

Buyers have the ability to view the tour while the agent uses a camera phone to narrate and walk-through the home while answering questions. Buyers are able to talk with the agent throughout the tour to ask questions and get clarification of what they see.
