Your agent can do many things to facilitate your online search. Your agent can set you up on an automatic MLS feed so that you’re alerted to any homes meeting your criteria when they come on the market.
When you narrow your search to a manageable number of homes, your agent can “preview” them for you. This previewing can include a video chat from the property with an opportunity to see features in real time.
Many homes have videos or virtual tours that put you there digitally.
All these options can narrow things down, but ultimately, you will want to tour the property in-person.
For physical showings, an agent can facilitate your seeing any home on the market and your agent can help protect you in these pandemic times. Your agent will do all the touching – the key, the doorknobs, light switches. In the case of an occupied home, your agent will deal with the sellers to arrange for their absence or orchestrate physical distancing.

Use DocuSign. All the forms necessary to complete a real estate transaction reside in DocuSign. It is easy, convenient, and transferrable via email. You can buy or sell your next home right on your phone or laptop.
Your REALTOR® can walk you through these new technologies. Who knows, maybe your next home purchase will happen without even leaving your favorite chair.
