Other than a respite on conventional open houses that pack purchasers into little indoor spaces, said Jennifer Kilpatrick of Corcoran in Delray Beach, Florida, “as far as [a surge in the virus] affecting the market here, it hasn’t.”

She added, “If buyers want to touch something, I say, ‘Let me open up the door for you.’ I’m encouraging a low touch pleasant experience throughout the process.”

The open houses that are going on will in general be stumbled, with longer hours to take into consideration limitations on what number of individuals can be inside a house at once.

Virtual visits and advanced deals stages became vital when most states were under exacting lockdown requests and purchasers couldn't truly visit properties. Be that as it may, even as things have begun to open up, numerous operators despite everything depend on them excessively, frequently to assist purchasers with deciding ahead of time where they'd truly think about a property—and to give vendors early notification about who will be coming all through their homes.

Dallas-based Compass agent Julie Provenzano said, “We aren't trying to put up roadblocks for people seeing properties, but we are trying to be efficient before we bring them out to see them.” She added,  “We’re talking to agents about what their clients are looking for, and troubleshooting in advance whether a listing’s particular floor plan will meet their needs.”
