April Showers During COVID-19

by Lorna Jean Giger
Even though our industry has to temporarily shut down all open houses, Windermere is providing leadership in using new knowledge tools to shepherd us through limited market conditions. Restrictions have been lifted to allow showings (one person at a time with distancing). For the foreseeable future in this public health crisis, there will be a trend to buy and sell homes virtually. More than ever, using a realtor will be important to help sellers provide useful information as buyers self-educate. For active properties, buyers need to make an informed decision. Listings will sell faster with less drama with pre-inspections and video tours using platforms such as Matterport. I am a professional in this business and am happy to be of service to help navigate sellers or buyers come up with a plan.
In this moment of pause, keeping in touch with friends and family is important. Stay healthy! We will all get through this “together-alone” and will be better people for it. The market on Bainbridge and North Kitsap is surprisingly robust right now! Let me know how I can help.

Ask a Macher How should you manage expectations when buying a home? Be prepared with a proof of funds letter and set yourself up (not a big bank) with a type of loan that will give you a path. Buying first is a great option if you qualify. You can close faster and look as good as a cash buyer! Ask Lorna Jean Giger a question.
