Changes have been made to the normal business model in real estate, ZOOM first showings, virtual walk trhoughs, virtual closings, personal protective equipment for Buyers and Brokers and now, official mic drop, a vaccination card carrying Realtor. You read it here first! The ultimate in realtor confidence will be the proof in the vaccine pudding.
Buyers will now feel the ultimate confidence in a safe and healthy buying experience while touring the inventory, and Sellers will feel most relieved knowing that the Realtor that is in their home managing photo shoots, hosting open houses, being present at showings and meeting appraisers and inspectors has proof of vaccination.
What? You mean your Realtor doesn't personally arrive at your home that is listed for showings? How does the story of the home get told? Or, your Realtor did not meet the appraiser for the appraisal of your home's Buy Sell contract with comparative analysis comps? And, please tell me no to the next question...was a lIcensed personal assistant handling the entire process on either the buy side or sell side because the Realtor you hired has too much production to handle the leg work? If the only time your Realtor had eyes on you, and the property you are buying or selling, was during the first appointment, perhaps you need to look into a more personalized experience.
One might question why it is necessary to have such white glove treatment during a robust residential market and personalized service from the first appointment to the closing table. Have you ever heard of Buyer's Remorse? The market is beginning to see many homes, lots and condos returning to the market due to lack of market knowledge, lack of exposure to the area ...aka..."you mean I-70 runs right through the entire Valley?". Also, many Sellers have remorse in the fact that their property sold below what the property is flipping for today. Many of the remorse issues can be avoided by choice, and choosing the right Realtor is the right choice. There are a lot of agents that are not card carrying Realtors, a membership in the National Association of Realtors, Colorado Association of Realtors and Denver Metro Associaiton of Realtors. These memberships not only provide information and support for the real estate industry in general but membership requires a mandatory ethics course to insure that the consumer is receiving best business practices.
Ask for the card!
