Virtual Realty: Real Estate Services for a Covid-19 Era

INTRODUCING VRE – A COMPLETE SUITE OF VIRTUAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES

Scroll down to view the list of my virtual real estate (VRE) services for sellers, buyers and specialty services for luxury properties.

You want to sell your home and finally downsize to that ultra-modern pied-à-terre downtown with the fabulous views, but don’t want to open your home to dozens of visitors.

You’re desperate to buy your first property and get on that real estate ladder, but don’t want to spend your weekends rushing from one crowded open house to another.

You and your family are moving to Montreal from overseas for work, but you are suddenly unable to travel to find the right property and interview schools for your children.

What happens to real estate transactions in a Covid-19 age? When a pandemic causes pandemonium in global markets and forces local business activity to a halt, are buyers and sellers supposed to put months or years of planning on indefinite hold?

Absolutely not!

If recent events have taught us anything, it’s that real estate will always be just that: real. Square footage doesn’t shrink by 30% overnight on scary headlines, and no matter what happens, people will always need a safe haven to call home – or to self-isolate.

But how can you participate when borders and front doors are closed until further notice?

This is how.
