Alert: Real Estate & Coronavirus

April First Update for Real Estate

Dear Clients and Friends, 

We hope this message finds you safe and healthy. 

We are writing at this time to provide you with April 1st updates to the "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" Proclamation as it pertains to real estate. Yesterday's adjustments will allow us to place and remove staging, order professional photos of your home and create video and virtual tours. Here are the highlights:

Can professional photographers take photos and create virtual tours during the Stay Home, Stay Healthy Order? (New April 1, 2020)
Yes. Information concerning real estate services indicates that professional photography for listings is now permitted. Like all other in-person activities, photos and virtual tours must be by appointment, a total of no more than two people may be at property at any one time, and those two people must adhere to strict social distancing guidelines established by the CDC. Sellers should vacate the property prior to any photography activities. Note that creating virtual tours is an effective way to allow buyers to view the property without the need for an in-person showing. 

Can stagers stage homes and remove furniture from a listing during the Stay Home, Stay Healthy Order? (Revised April 1, 2020)
Yes. Information concerning real estate services indicates that staging a home and removing staging items is now permitted. Like all other in-person activities, staging activities must be by appointment, a total of no more than two people may be at property at any one time, and those two people must adhere to strict social distancing guidelines established by the CDC. Sellers should vacate the property prior to any staging activities.

3D Virtual Tours

We've been using this tool for a few years, but it has never been more relevant than now. With every listing we handle, we add this feature along with photos and video tours. See the pink arrow? That is a VR option. It means you can use those google cardboard goggles you bought, or your teenagers VR headset and take a virtual walkthrough of all of our listings. No VR? No problem, you can tour from your computer or tablet and get a good look at everything. You can even measure to see if your furniture will fit!
