Many folks are wondering if it’s safe for them to sell their homes during the pandemic. To be sure, COVID-19 has changed the real estate process, but how? Today I’ll discuss a few key changes and how that impacts sellers in our market.

One major area that has changed is that we have new required forms from the California Association of Realtors (CAR). Attorneys from this group have drafted these forms to take into consideration the protection of all parties during the time of coronavirus. So what impact will they have on the sale of your home?

1. There is an optional addendum that will keep everyone informed about the timelines throughout the process.
2. There is a notice of unforeseen circumstances. For instance, your movers can’t move you into a certain state because of a lockdown.

We’ve been way ahead of the times with our strategic marketing and powerful online presence.

 

3. There is a listing agreement addendum that states that you’re not ill and that you’re comfortable with people coming to your home for showings.
4. There’s also a property entry evaluation addendum that states that you’re aware of the coronavirus, confirms you’re not ill, and states that the seller is okay with you coming into their home.

Safety is our No. 1 priority as we guide and protect you through this process of successfully selling your home. We have a well-thought-out safety protocol in place to protect your personal property, your home, and you. Before we allow any entry into your home, we ask the buyer to view the professional photos that we provide in the virtual tour. That way, we get more viewings from qualified buyers.

Almost 93% of people are going online to view homes because of the current events going on in the world. We’ve been way ahead of the times with our strategic marketing and powerful online presence, which has allowed us to keep our friends and clients protected and help them to receive a higher profit upon their sale. The last four properties that we’ve closed escrow on each had multiple offers on them, and we kept the sellers and buyers safe throughout the process.

If you have any more questions about selling in our market during the pandemic, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to provide you with more information about how we can help you succeed.
