In strong housing markets such as Southern California, sellers usually are eager to show off homes to prospective buyers. In a pandemic, however, they become more apprehensive about strangers walking through their homes. Enter Netrealty, an online startup that automates transactions with contactless service.
“Some sellers have expressed concern that people coming in to view their homes are going to be touching surfaces and bringing in germs,” said Abby Ronquillo, founder and CEO of Netrealty, Eastvale, California. “We, of course, understand their worries, but we are taking extreme precautions against that. Potential buyers must wash their hands when they come into the home, they cannot touch any surface in the home until they have washed their hands. We are also providing hand sanitizer, booties, face masks and gloves as well as staggering appointments to ensure only a limited number of people are in the home at one time.”
Netrealty offers personalized service and attention while conducting online, paperless real estate transactions. Qualified, licensed realtors bring together buyers and sellers, ensuring safe and convenient service at a considerable discount. The company offers the same services as a traditional real estate brokerage, the commission structure offers sellers an exceptionally low 1.5% listing fee if their home is listed using its proprietary app, available for download from Apple, Google Play store or at netrealty.com.
