Transcript: Hi! I'm here in Waco, TX! This property was on HGTV's Fixer Upper, the famous television series. This house was on the market for $950,000, almost one million dollars! People were amazed! True Biz, someone did buy the house but they do not live there. Instead, they rent it out on AIRBNB. If you want to stay in this home and rent it out, you can. It is about $325.00 a night. This home is walking distance to The Silos and Magnolia Market. It is about one to two blocks away, it is not that far. So, that is what is going on in Waco, TX. Interesting, right?!

Hi everyone!

We want to discuss about the COVID-19. It’s new to everyone. We are still adjusting everyday. It’s full of “unknown”. We are in this together!

The Signing Group want to let you know…

Our community is our ultimate priority because we care!

We have decided to do the following steps to protect our community!

We are ahead of the game!

Thankful for the technology these days.

We have already been doing most of things remotely.

We do our contracts & offers electronically. All are secured!

We already have several methods of video access: VideoPhone; Glide; Marco Polo; Zoom; and FaceTime just to name a few.

We will continue meet with our Buyers and Sellers remotely.

Initial meetings will be conducted remotely. Same for all meetings throughout transactions. As for home inspections, it’s preferred and suggested to allow home inspector to attend alone and we will receive; meet and discuss the inspection report together afterwards. Unless, it’s truly necessary the buyer may attend the inspection but strictly abide the social distance with 6 feet; etc. Now, as for the settlements, agents and lenders will attend remotely. Buyers & Sellers will attend settlements separately. Keep in mind, things can change on a daily basis as we go though this crisis. There are more throughout the transaction as these are just an example.

We are sure you are all wondering about the showings, we will conduct virtual showings only for safety of our community!

Until, the buyer is in love & serious about the property then we will work together closely involving all parties: listing agent; sellers; buyers; ourselves to ensure that we are in compliance. There will be strict criteria conducting 6 feet social distance; no handshaking; hand washing; clean doorknobs; and sellers are encouraged to clean throughly after any showings. This is not the only criteria we are following, those are just to name a few.

No open houses will be held until further notice. Virtual open houses is an option. We have done this before.

We are in compliance with CDC; National Association of Realtors (NAR) regulations and ensure we are following the protocols.

Stay healthy! We care!
