We created this page to answer some of the most common questions about selling a home in Tampa Bay during COVID-19, help illustrate the real estate transaction process, and things we recommend and do to keep you and your loved ones safe when selling your home.
Can I still sell my Tampa Bay home?
Absolutely! Our Tampa Bay market is still pretty strong and closings are happening every day.
Are real estate closings still happening?
Yes, real estate closings are still happening even under these new and unusual circumstances.
Can I decide when and how my property will be shown?
A seller generally has control over how their property is shown. This greatly depends on if the property is vacant or occupied, your personal expectations and requirements.
What will you do to minimize risk and keep me safe?
The list below is not an all inclusive list, but some of the things we do and recommend our seller clients do to keep everyone safe:
How will you present my offers?
We will email you the offer as soon as we receive it and present it to you over the phone or virtually, whatever works better for you. Virtual option allows for a face-to-face meeting from the comfort of your home while screen sharing the offer so we can go over all the details together. We typically use Web conferencing services like Zoom or Google Meet.
How will I sign the offer?
We have worked with electronic contracts for years. You can sign everything electronically from your computer or phone.
Do I have to be present for closing?
You do not have to be. Most title companies will allow for mail away closings and have implemented their own safety procedures to ensure a safe and successful closing.
