It’s difficult being a homebuyer these days. Buying a house is already tricky, but add on a global pandemic that’s closing stores and locking down countries, you probably feel like it’s impossible to move forward with buying a home – let alone touring one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, your house hunting doesn\u2019t have to stop. With live video-chat tours, a Redfin Agent will take you on a live virtual tour of a home you want to see while giving you an in-person perspective. If you want to avoid the risk of being exposed to the current outbreak or you\u2019re just planning on moving to another city, Redfin\u2019s live video-chat tours provide the perfect way to see homes when you can\u2019t get there in person.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s simple, convenient, and you can start touring homes immediately. Best of all, your homebuying journey can continue.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you schedule a live video-chat tour<\/span><\/h2>\n

You can schedule a live tour via video-chat instantly from <\/span>Redfin.com<\/span><\/a> or the <\/span>Redfin app<\/span><\/a>. Simply select \u201cTour via Video Chat\u201d next to the home you\u2019d like to see and choose the date and time that works best with your schedule. Once you\u2019ve submitted your request, a Redfin Agent will reach out to confirm your live video-chat tour. <\/span><\/p>\n

Want to know more? Check out our complete guide on <\/span>how to take a live tour via video-chat<\/span><\/a> with a Redfin Agent. (See what questions to ask when touring a house on video-chat<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

You can even make an offer and close on a house virtually<\/span><\/h2>\n

Homebuyers who work with their Redfin Agent and use <\/span>Redfin Mortgage<\/span><\/a> and title service, where available, can make an offer and close on a home electronically without ever leaving their house. Known as eClosings, the entire (traditional) process for closing on a home has turned into a completely digital experience that’s now faster and more convenient for homebuyers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in knowing more about eClosings, you can find more information on our <\/span>blog<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

See homes virtually another way with 3D walkthroughs<\/span><\/h2>\n

Along with live video-chat tours, prospective buyers can see the inside of any Redfin listed home with <\/span>3D walkthroughs<\/span><\/a>. This virtual experience provides a high-resolution, interactive three-dimensional view from every angle inside a home. You can easily explore every room of a home for sale at any time and from anywhere that\u2019s most convenient for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you selling your home before buying a new one?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about <\/span>selling your home<\/span><\/a>, now might be a good time. Redfin\u2019s Chief Economist, Daryl Fairweather, says \u201c<\/span>It\u2019s still a seller\u2019s market given the low [mortgage<\/a>] rate and low inventory environment.\u201d With the addition of Redfin\u2019s live video-chat tour option, more interested homebuyers will be able to tour your home live via video-chat with their Redfin Agent. Meaning you can still get a lot of foot traffic, but with less actual feet walking through your front door.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
