Virtual Home Buying Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
I understand just how difficult it can be to navigate the new normal we are facing due to COVID-19, especially if you are in the market to purchase a home. I want to make the process as seamless as possible for you so you can still close on the home of your dreams during this pandemic. Over the last few weeks, I’ve initiated a virtual home buying program to help potential home buyers purchase from afar, and now would be a great time for you to take advantage of everything this program has to offer.
1. Virtual Meeting
We will start the process by scheduling a virtual appointment together. During the appointment, we will discuss what you are looking for in a home and create a game plan to get you exactly what you want.
2. Listings to Your Inbox
Once we’ve narrowed the criteria you are looking for in your next home, I will set you up for automatic email notifications. Every time a listing matches your criteria you will be e-mailed right when it hits the market. Through these listings you can view details of the property and filter out the non-contenders from the potentials.
3. Virtual Tour
During this step, you’ll take virtual tours of any homes that pique your interest. You can virtually step inside every room, at your pace, to make sure it is the right fit. If home entry is allowed I will go and FaceTime with you a tour as well and you can ask questions from your living room.
4. Purchasing Paperwork
You’ve picked the home of your dreams! During this step we will work together on all the paperwork required to secure this property. You can electronically sign all documents required from the comfort of your home.
5. Payment
You’ll wire your earnest money or have our mobile title rep stop by to pick up a check during this step.
6.Home Inspection
Our inspectors will send you a detailed report of the property with photos and descriptions so that you can get to know every inch of the space you are in the process of purchasing. Any questions or concerns can be discussed during e-mail, phone or video chat.
7. Closing
A mobile notary or attorney will bring you all the closing paperwork.
8. It’s Yours!
Congratulations! You just purchased the home of your dreams, electronically! We will even deliver the keys right to your current residence.
