When Covid-19
struck in March 2020, housing sales were at a virtual
standstill. Now, housing prices are up, listings on the market
are down, and mortgage rates, while now low, may
become higher into
fall and 2022, according to CoreLogic
If you have
plans to sell your home, you may have to deviate from some
traditional marketing and selling methods, but you don’t have to
shelve your plans altogether. These resources will help you
spruce up your home for listing photos, take safety precautions
at showings, and invite prospective buyers to virtual tours.
This guide is
brought to you by Emil
Ratti, Bergen County New Jersey real estate agent
and certified new home specialist.

new look,
