As we respond to this time of uncertainty, brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is important for us to consider not only our own health, but the health of our clients and the community at large. As trusted and experienced real estate advisors, we have quickly pivoted to guide our clients through a completely new home buying and selling experience, all while practicing social distancing and adhering to local and federal government guidelines. From coordinating safe in-person showings to creating public and private virtual home tours to brokering sales that occur remotely from start-to-finish—we remain committed to our clients’ real estate goals.
Now more than ever, it is important to showcase each listing on a virtual stage. Property videos and virtual 3D tours allow a potential buyer to envision themselves in the home, even if they aren’t able to physically view it. These virtual solutions enable us to tell each home’s unique story to a widespread, potentially global, range of viewers, all from the comfort of their own homes. Another vital aspect to consider is the increased use of social media in real estate – platforms like Facebook, Google, and YouTube have made virtual home promotion not only possible, but commonplace. More and more, people are using these applications to search for home inspiration. Recognizing this, we ensure that each property we list is featured prominently on every available digital platform.
Our relationship to our homes has adapted and continues to evolve. With a massive shift to remote working and learning, people are spending more time at their houses than ever before. Resultantly, people are in search of their dream homes – ones that offer them the space and amenities they need to live comfortably and happily, while also providing them a solid and diversified investment opportunity. The Bainbridge Island and Kitsap County real estate markets offer all that and more, and unsurprisingly, these two areas saw unprecedented demand in 2020.
Now, in 2021, we’re experiencing the effects of this heightened demand in the form of diminished inventory and intense competition for homes. As our economy opens up again, we anticipate that multiple offers will continue to be the norm, which highlights the importance of not only putting your best offer forward as a Buyer, but as a Seller, having the right real estate advisor to guide you through this complicated process. Pricing a home correctly to obtain top dollar in this skyrocketing market is also particularly challenging. That’s where my experience and dedication will give you a distinct advantage.
In this new real estate landscape, I would be delighted to offer my assistance and represent you in the sale or purchase of your home. Please get in touch if you’re thinking of buying or selling.
