How The Real Estate Industry Keeps Changing To Help You

During this week’s Real Estate Roundup, Steve spoke with Terry Story, a 31-year veteran at Keller Williams, about how the real estate industry is adjusting to innovatively conduct business during the coronavirus pandemic.
Realtors Getting Innovative
Steve first asked Terry to talk about one big change in the real estate industry—big conference calls between agents all across the country. “We have giant conference calls each week. We try to find out what each agent is hearing and seeing. A lot of agents have started doing webinars to show first-time buyers what their options are or straight-out buyers that we can still get them into the home they want, pandemic or no pandemic.” Terry shared. The most important thing about this innovative approach is that the essential information still gets to the potential client while practicing social distancing.
Terry, herself, decided to get ahead of the game by carefully tracking home sales in Palm Beach County. “As realtors, we’re foot soldiers,” she said. “We know what’s going on in the industry before any reports reflect it. With this information, I can spot a trend before it’s reported as a trend.”
How Buyers Can Help Themselves
Getting innovative during this pandemic is something you can and should do, too, if you’re a prospective home buyer.
Terry explained, “You’re going to have an area in mind. You can get a real sense of the neighborhoods in that area without ever leaving your car. Drive around. Use Google maps to find spots of interest such as restaurants, shops, and schools. Pay attention to things like traffic patterns. Remember that once you move, traffic is going to get heavier once everyone can be out and about freely. And use online databases for neighborhood data and statistics.” Steve added that using Google maps to actually see what a neighborhood looks like can be a big help to someone looking for a new home.
Getting proactive now will help you get a sense of what it would be like to live in different areas. This will help you narrow down what homes are actually of interest to you. Then, once you’ve settled on a neighborhood that meets your needs, call a realtor to get professional advice. They’ll be able to help you find homes that will work for you and set up virtual tours.
