Tips for selling your home safely during the COVID-19 pandemic

July 1, 2020

Tips for selling your home safely during the COVID-19 pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has brought much of the country to a screeching halt. But, just because people are stuck at home doesn’t mean your home sale has to come to a screeching halt, too. You can sell your home in the midst of this challenging time — as long as you’re safe.

A recent article from realtor.com outlined steps homeowners should take to sell their home safely during the COVID-19 crisis, including:

  • Embrace virtual showings. You don’t need a bunch of potential buyers walking in and out of your house; it’s not safe for you or them. Instead, have your real estate agent vet buyers and give them virtual tours of your home.
  • Practice safety measures for in-person showings. If your real estate agent has a buyer who they’ve vetted and is extremely interested in the property, they may want to see your home in person. Before you allow anyone in your home, make sure to thoroughly clean and disinfect all surfaces to protect potential buyers — and then make sure to do the same after the in-person tour to protect yourself and your family.
  • If possible, close remotely. Many states have remote notaries and many lenders offer fully virtual closings. Do your research and see if you can close your home sale remotely to avoid any unnecessary contact.

The coronavirus pandemic is changing the way people buy and sell homes. But with the right safety measures, there’s no reason it has to derail your home sale!

TESTIMONIALS

"I was able to see Russ in action when he helped my aunt and uncle buy a house here in Green Valley. He is very knowledgeable about this area and the home buying process. He went above and beyond in many ways: showing lots of houses, pointing out pros and cons of each house, helping decide on an offering price and recommending a good loan agent. Russ is everything a real estate agent should be and I highly recommend him."

"Couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor!! Russ was very friendly and professional, very knowledgeable, great at negotiating and had a great strategy for everything. He kept us up to date and did all the heavy lifting for us. He took the time to find houses that matched our needs, took care of setting up our inspections and handled any issues that came up during the process. Russ made the house buying process smooth and stress free. Really can’t say enough good things about Russ. We had zero complaints. We definitely recommend using Russ as your Realtor. "
- J.M., Tucson AZ
"From start to finish, Russ Fortuno was “a class act.” It started with his online Home Buyer’s Guide which was helpful to me, a first-time, out-of-state buyer. His new listing email notifications were timely and helped me get familiar with the Green Valley properties that fit my budget. Then when I was ready to buy, he represented me as a buyer’s agent. He professionally led me through the entire process with great knowledge of the available properties, as well as the subsequent offer and purchasing process. I found Russ to be very clear and direct. He went above and beyond what I expected. Even after the closing, he arranged the removal of some unwanted furniture and helped me identify cleaning and painting services in the area, something few other agents would do. I would highly recommend his services to anyone without reservation!"
- E.D., Green Valley, AZ
