Real Estate transactions during COVID 19

Irina Bartnik • April 15, 2020
All of us, in a Real Estate profession, would like our clients to have safe and pleasant experience when they Buy or Sell their home. In our office we implemented following measures:
  • We are currently signing clients in front of the office on the fresh air. That means that you will be talking to the Notary though a closed door using your cell phone. Notary will go over the documents with you and will make sure that you understand the documents that you are signing.
  • We are now e-mailing all of the documents that you will be signing prior to the appointment, so you can review them prior to coming to the Notary office.
  • If you would like, a video conference is also available to you. Video conference does not eliminate the appointment where you need to sign documents in front of the Notary office.
  • We are scheduling clients appointments apart, so no two families will be in front of the office at the same time.
We are all adjusting to these new ways of doing business and if you have any suggestions for us on how we can improve our services, we would be happy to hear from you.

The findings echo a broader North American trend. In the United States, the median first-time buyer age has climbed to a record 40, according to the National Association of Realtors — up from 33 just a few years ago — as higher rates and decade-long price gains delay ownership for younger households.  👉 Read the Article Here
