Selling real estate despite lockdown
A property cannot be sold without viewings. However, real estate agents are often unsure whether viewings are even possible during the current lockdown. And if so, how many people are allowed to attend? What hygiene rules must be observed? Do surfaces and door handles need to be disinfected, and what can be done to minimize the risk of infection through aerosols? Many rules also vary from state to state. Your local real estate agent is the best person to contact for all these questions. It is their job to sell real estate, so they are also very familiar with the current rules. In addition, real estate marketing begins long before a viewing.
Virtual viewings
To make your property accessible to as many interested parties as possible, professional real estate agents offer virtual tours. This allows interested parties to get an impression of your property from the comfort of their own sofa. They can walk virtually from room to room and look around the individual rooms with the help of 360-degree photos. This not only opens up better sales opportunities for your property during the pandemic, but also under "normal" circumstances. With the help of this tool, more potential buyers will become aware of your property and, at the same time, you can distinguish between those who are genuinely interested and those who are not. Only serious buyers will then be offered a real viewing appointment on site. A professional real estate agent from your region knows what hygiene conditions are required and will take care of the optimal preparation of the property.
Documents and notary appointment
Obtaining the documents relevant to the sale is often not easy for real estate sellers, as the responsible offices and authorities are also only working at half capacity. However, local professional real estate agents know when, where, and how to obtain the documents. Currently, it is also not recommended to exchange documents directly. Quality brokers therefore take care of the digital exchange of documents between the seller and buyer. The next problem: concluding the purchase agreement. Is it even possible to meet with a notary in person? Yes, it is, provided that the appropriate hygiene measures are taken. Your real estate agent will accompany you through all the necessary steps until your property sale is complete and the purchase agreement is signed.
