COVID-19 has forced every industry to adjust the way they operate, and real estate is no exception. Since the virus may be part of our lives for some time, Quebecers will have to adapt the way they sell properties.

The time has come and Quebec has begun its gradual deconfinement plan. This included the restart of real estate activities on May 11. To limit the risk of spreading COVID-19, these activities must respect the hygiene and social distancing measures issued by the public health authorities.

People must still buy and sell properties even while COVID-19 is an issue. The reality is that the real estate market operates continuously, because people start new jobs, welcome an addition to the family or don’t renew their lease because they intend to buy a starter home.

This period of self-isolation is forcing us to adapt the way we do things. Thankfully, the technological advances of recent years are benefitting real estate buyers and sellers.

The measures taken by the government authorities to flatten the curve in the COVID-19 crisis have forced a number of industries to adapt quickly to a changing reality.

A 3D virtual tour is an ideal way to view a property when you can’t go in person. This tool lets you continue your plans to buy or sell, while respecting the social distancing measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
