With real estate deemed an essential service in many U.S. states, and potential buyers under orders to stay at home, agents are showing properties the only way they can during the COVID-19 pandemic: Virtually.
Fatemah Nickchehi, a San Francisco-based Keller Williams Realtor, already had been making videos to showcase homes on listing websites prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and told HousingWire it’s all the same when it comes to giving a virtual tour to a prospective buyer now.
It’s a service that’s growing in demand. While most people wouldn’t have considered purchasing a home sight-unseen prior to the epidemic, about 25% of shoppers interviewed in recent weeks said they would buy a home without even stepping foot in it, according to realtor.com.
Nickchehi said she hired a professional videographer from Los Angeles to produce something a cut above what an agent could record with a cell-phone camera while walking through a house. The finished product was worth the extra cost, she said.
I recently did something similar for my listing at The Chateaux in Breckenridge, Colorado.
