Housing is an essential need and Realtors in Florida need to continue to work to provide it, but only in a safe format. Florida Realtors, the Florida Land Title Association and the Florida Home Builders Association asked Gov. Ron DeSantis to consider real estate transactions and title recording essential services which should remain active, pledging to adopt steps to minimize health and safety risks for practitioners and customers. 

While some sellers are deciding to pull their homes off the market and try to sell at a different time, that may not be an option for everyone.

With that in mind, if you are trying to sell your home in this market, there are some things that you can do to help keep everyone involved as safe and healthy as possible. Read on below to learn more.

   1. Creating
a video tour

As a critical part of our creative
marketing process, we hire top professionals to handle the picture taking to
show off the BEST features of your home. By creating a video tour, this will allow
potential buyers a sense of the layout of you home, before they see it in
person.

Our MLS and many of our advertising websites allow agents to
upload video files to listings in addition to photos.

Ultimately, it will help give them a better idea of whether your
home could be a good fit for them.

On your end, when selling your home, it will also help to limit the amount of traffic going through your home to only those buyers who have serious interest in your property.
