Embracing Virtual Real Estate: Property Providers’ Style

One forgets day-to-day how heavily real estate evolves around meeting people face to face. Whether that’s at new business meetings, open for inspections, client office meetings, lease signings etc. the list goes on and on. So, with the new social distancing measures in place amid and following the COVID-19 crisis, it could be very easy for real estate agencies to get lost without their normal way of doing things. Welcome the rise of virtual real estate in Australia. 

However, at Property Providers we have always been advocates and embracers of technology and now is no different. Just because we can’t meet people physically, doesn’t mean business has to stop.  We are constantly adapting and flowing with the times and are focused on remaining connected while adhering to the new rules. On both the long and short-term sides of our business we are scaling up our “virtual-ness” to help #flattenthecurve and #stopthespread, here’s how:

Across our Long-Term Portfolio:

• Recording videos of our available rental properties and uploading them onto:
  • Our Youtube Channel
  • Our RealEstate.com.au listings and Domain.com.au ( you’ll find the videos in the image gallery)
  • Our Website listings
  • Our Facebook and Instagram pages
  • Our automated emails that prospects receive when they send an enquiry
• Conducting inspections by FaceTime or Zoom for potential renters and hosting 1on1 private inspections if required
• Managing routine inspections by asking tenants to send in pictures/videos of their rental property and Facetiming them if possible
• Performing new business meetings and rental appraisals via Skype, Facetime or Zoom
• Using DocuSign to manage lease signings vs. tenants coming to our office
• Key collection from lockboxes or our out-of-hours safe to minimise contact

Across our Short-Term Portfolio:

• Recording videos of our properties looking guest ready and fabulous and uploading them onto:
  • Our Website
  • Our Facebook and Instagram pages
  • Sharing them with prospective guests via email, WhatsApp or text message
• Doing walk-throughs if prospective guests ask to see properties via FaceTime or Skype ( we’ve been doing this for years!)
• Conducting new business meetings and rental appraisals via Skype, Facetime or Zoom or 1on1 private meetings
• Sending management agreements via Docusign
• Key collection from lockboxes at the property or our out-of-hours safe to minimise contact

Whether you’re a current or prospective owner, tenant or guest of ours we want to remain in contact with you and have the technology in place to do so.  Let’s stay physically distant but socially connected!
