Here are a few of the key ways that the real estate industry has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic:
1. Virtual options. Many listings are being presented via virtual tours, Matterport 3D tours, and social media platforms. Virtual offers are being accepted, too.
2. In-person options. For the sellers holding in-person showings, they are having separate showing times and requesting that masks and gloves be worn by buyers and their agents. They’re also asking people not to touch doors or light switches. We’re also taking great care to make sure we don’t infect a seller’s home.
3. Open houses with social distancing. We’re having one family at a time enter the premises while the others wait outside.

4. Appraisals. Some are being done as desk reviews instead of physically going out to the property. It all depends on the lender with which you're working.
5. Closing in two to three phases. There’s a buyer phase with the buyer’s attorney and the buyers, and a seller’s phase with the seller’s attorney and the sellers.
