What is Virtual Selling?
It's simple: virtual selling is the process of listing and selling your home online and remotely. This is especially crucial today, and our network was built for times like these. Unlike other real estate companies, we bring to the table a full network of companies and services that have a single focus: helping you achieve a safe and successful home sale or purchase. That’s why we can easily help you coordinate things like property listings, settlement, inspections, virtual tours, and virtual staging while you stay safe and secure. With Long & Foster, you’ll have access to everything you need to safely and confidently sell your home, from your home…or anywhere, for that matter.
A Virtual Introduction
We’ll coordinate this all-important meeting via Facetime, Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp or your preferred video chat app. Don’t have one? Don’t worry—we’ll help you get it. Just like we’d do in person, we’ll provide you the same great consultative approach, working to understand your needs and helping you achieve them.

An Interactive Competitive Market Analysis (CMA)
To help you understand the market opportunity, we will create a personalized competitive market analysis (CMA) for your home. With a blend of technology and local market knowledge, we mix art and science to price your home for optimal value. Our web-based CMA system gives you access to the market dynamics in real time. You’ll gain a market pulse from anywhere, anytime, helping keep an eye on the competition—homes like yours that are on the market.

Safe and Secure Virtual Tours
Our teams are experienced at scheduling virtual tours via FaceTime, Skype and other digital applications,
deploying safe measures for you and your potential buyers. Virtual tours like this are recommended well
ahead of any in-person tour. Rest assured, we have protocols in place to ensure any in-person tour is
conducted safely, including cleaning before and after, masks (if required) and even “touchless” tours, where
visitors are asked not to touch anything, to give you and your potential buyer peace of mind.
Many buyers are browsing virtual tours online, and
LongandFoster.com even has a custom search for virtual tours,
helping to showcase homes like yours.
Virtual Open House
As part of your customized marketing plan, we can also schedule virtual events for buyers, including virtual open houses. Leveraging tools like Facebook and Instagram Live, we can plan virtual events to generate interest and “traffic” virtually among home shoppers and their real estate agent.
3-D Photography and Other Features
There are many ways to safely ensure your home is presented professionally when it hits the market. You can provide photos with our expert coaching after completing a virtual walk-through with our professionals, or we can schedule a professional photographer to safely photograph your home or even complete a virtual 3D tour of it. Together we’ll work on what best meets your needs.
Electronic Listing and Seller Documentation
Our team leverages e-signatures making it easy to complete listing agreements and other related documents from anywhere in just a few minutes. While e-signature solutions are great for today’s environment, they are proven technology that the Long & Foster teams have been using to add convenience for our clients for years.
Coming Soon Promotions of Your Property
Before your home goes up for sale, we can generate interest by promoting it as a “coming soon” listing on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and LongandFoster.com. Interested buyers will get a sneak preview of your home before it goes live on our website and the major real estate sites. Before listing your home, we’ll discuss if this approach is right for you.
Digital Offers and Contracts
Just as we can complete our listing paperwork electronically, our team can manage offers and contracts virtually. We’ve leveraged e-signature solutions for years, so we’re adept at using them to keep transactions moving quickly toward successful agreements.
A New Approach to Closings
Your safety is our No. 1 priority. Depending on your market, we’ll conduct an entirely virtual settlement or, following CDC guidelines, leverage comprehensive protocols to ensure a safe settlement transaction. All options are available to you from separate closing rooms to mobile closings and even virtual notaries (where allowed) and more. Our approach and commitment to you delivers a successful and safe environment to complete your transaction.
Our Real Focus is You
In any kind of market or environment, our customer satisfaction levels show a proven track record of
success for our clients. This year, we’ve not only maintained our tremendous customer satisfaction
rating, but even increased it to 98% in the first quarter of 2020. Further proof that our uniquely
integrated services approach will deliver results for you.
