nothing stops real estate agents!

#Post

“While the physical aspect of real estate is not possible in level 4, many agents have well-tested practices in place that enable them to deliver remote appraisals, or listings, electronic sales and purchase agreements, and online or phone auctions.”

From a lending perspective there is nothing to stop applications being processed and settlements occurring, especially for refinancing.

Personally I'm really, really happy for any industry that is able to work (safely) through a lockdown. So many people aren't.

Yes good on them working, someone has to keep the lights on.

They are doing what the customers want them to do - list and arrange selling of houses. There is obviously a lot of interest at the moment, so it is just as well the public's needs can be met by the RE companies working within the law during lockdown.

More likely people are bored and want a bigger house to get away from the Mrs.

I am happy too. Each to their own and if you can do this why wouldn't you?

We are bidding on an online auction tomorrow, so it's doable.

Lots have sold this way in the last week.
Good luck catdog68, hope you're successful.

I have just returned from Otaki and there are roadworks going on just north of Otaki which was a surprise.

What a crass and demeaning generalisation.

You missed off “and the kids”.

We are dealing with massive enquiries and have listed, advertised, contracted, and confirmed within our business this last week. Have 2 settlements this week. 1 is delayed, the other looks to be going ahead. 3 pre settlement inspections are due this next 7 days that may lead to delayed settlements next week.

I was just surprised to learn the star of Speed & Miss Congienielity was in Real Estate. I know there are a lot of people who have moved into the industry in the last 12 months, but that one surprised me. (I read the article)

I sat outside the supermarket for entertainment. Now I will start phoning agents for someone to chat to. I should probably throw in something about a property during the conversation or they might lose interest in chatting to me.
