Low mortgage interest rates have buyers jumping on new opportunities! If you are ready to sell your house, don’t let the virus stop you. Buyers are buying! Here are some tips for selling your Coram house during the coronavirus pandemic.
Sell Directly
The easiest and fastest way to sell your Coram house during the pandemic is to work with a direct buyer. Gull Group Inc can make the process much easier than a traditional listing!
No Open Houses
If you are going to list your house, skip the open house. It is risky to have many strangers from different households coming into your home and wandering about. With technology as great as it is, there are ways around the traditional open house; you just need to be flexible and creative.
Create Virtual Tours
Once your house is photo-ready, take a walking video tour of your home. Go slowly and try not to be too shaky or spin too quickly. These videos can easily be shared on real estate advertising sites or video sites. This lets potential buyers virtually walk through your home without bringing their germs! You can also hire a professional videographer, if available, to make it look even better.
Clean!
When you do get inquiries from serious buyers, make sure to clean and sanitize commonly touched surfaces, including door handles, light switches, countertops, and anything else buyers might want to try out. It’s acceptable to ask buyers to touch as little as possible, but some things, like light switches, just have to be touched. Once the showing is over, sanitize all of those surfaces again. You shouldn’t be present when buyers view the house, so assume they have touched doors and light switches.
Use Technology
It is perfectly acceptable to use video or phone calls instead of face to face meetings when discussing the terms of your sale. You can also use electronic signatures for the contract, and in many cases closings can be handled with minimal contact.
Take it Easy
Selling your home is a lot of work and stress under normal circumstances, and the pandemic adds extra cleaning and precautions. Don’t be afraid to sell at your own pace. Plan ahead for showings and only allow one or two per week to cut down on your cleaning time. Make videos and pictures of your home easily available to potential buyers. These tips should help you sell your Coram house during this unprecedented time.
