Home buyers, real estate agents, and lawyers reveal the new realities of shopping for a house during a pandemic — and why it's not necessarily a bad time to look (by scmargolin)

, for now. To get quotes, we've shown our apartment to movers over FaceTime — some movers can coordinate moves without the owners on premise."Everyone explained their COVID-19 protocol as soon as they spoke to me," explained Chatman. She was the only person allowed in the room at closing. Documents were laid out for her on a desk with gloves, hand sanitizer, and a new pen.

Will buyers purchase solely from virtual tours? Gully is skeptical. She recommended viewing the virtual tour, but also scheduling an appointment if interested. "Even if we have videos, people need to see and feel a property before they buy it," she explained. Greg Chistoffferson, a real estate agent in Utah, said that more precaution is being taken throughout the process.

For example, my husband and I added in an "excused delay" to our agreement, which includes lender or registry delays or an inability to secure movers. If closing is further delayed, we or the seller can agree to terminate the purchase. "It feels like a weight has been lifted," she reflected. With more living space and a backyard, she said, sheltering in place will be a lot easier.. In other words, we'll be spending a lot of time at home.
