Fueled by Growing Concern for Housing Market, Realtors Pivot Quickly to New Tech Platform Ensuring Homes Sell for Top Dollar

Newly launched remote service Virtual Opens is helping realtors, real estate brokerages, buyers, and sellers manage virtual open house tours, offering safe open house options in a turbulent time

SEATTLE (PRWEB) March 27, 2020

A new tech platform is providing an exciting way to keep the real estate industry running with as little disruption as possible in a time when the industry faces unprecedented challenges.

Virtual Opens is a free worldwide virtual homes tour service. Their goal? Keeping the real estate industry afloat while helping agents, brokers, buyers, and sellers stay safe and healthy by creating a way for home showings to continue.

In light of recent shelter-in-place mandates and the support of social distancing measures, those looking to buy or sell properties face challenges in finding their dream homes or selling their current homes and moving on to the next phase of their lives. Touring a property is an essential step of the real estate transaction process. Through this new technology, realtors can help maintain as much access to that process as possible.

Virtual Opens provides a fun, exciting, and safe way for sellers to list homes with their existing agent and now get additional traffic through their homes in a virtual format. The service gives buyers and their agents the ability to view properties without leaving the comfort and safety of their homes.

For a limited time, buyers and sellers can list and browse properties for free. Listings from across the globe are welcome on the Virtual Opens platform.

David Berg, Managing Broker, at KW Puget Sound recently spoke of this during a virtual open houses webinar put on by Ben Kinney and Chris Suarez of Place, Inc. and Xperience Growth.

"It's important we practice social distancing and self-isolation to starve this virus, yet we must keep the economy moving forward," said Berg. "While we're cutting expenses, this has been a free tool offered to agents, and helps buyers and sellers still be able to show homes. It is keeping everyone safe through social distancing and helps us market properties much more effectively, so homes continue to sell for top dollar. You should see some of the creativity that's been posted so far."
