catch up that's the topic of my next video in this video I'm gonna discuss
with you how you can get your house online on the MLS now to be ahead of the
competition before we get the all-clear order my name is Mark Schreyer and I'm a
licensed sales associate with century 21 American homes real estate right here in
Syosset Long Island yes craziness in the world never seen
anything like it we are I'm located in New York State 20 miles east of New York
City I always believed in being positive and making lemonade out of lemons so I'm
gonna tell you how you can utilize this downtime to your advantage particularly
if you want to get your house sold or if you're a buyer thinking about buying a
property New York State has told all Realtors that they must work from home
they cannot show houses they cannot do open houses we cannot meet anybody in
person so that's exactly what I'm doing I'm working from home so how do you take
advantage of this situation well not only are we in lockdown but the
rest of the country pretty much is in lockdown
so you utilize this time what do people do when they're in lockdown they go
online they watch movies and if you're considering buying or selling you're
probably binging on the internet and all the you know how do I sell my house
YouTube videos that's how you found this and everything else related to down time
so we got buyers looking to buy we got sellers looking to sell I just received
the phone call from a buyer that was considering buying a particular property
out here on Long Island so how do we get your house listed and keep everybody
safe we do it digitally we do it virtually century 21 American homes has
been using the digital platform for 18 months it's not new to us so how can you
take advantage of that first thing you need to do is watch this video to the
very end and I'm gonna share with you the steps involved after you watch the
video contact me either text me call me and I'll explain in detail but to give
you the basics number one after you watch the video we have a conference
call I'll stay on the phone as long as it takes so you understand the process
if you decide that you want to beat the competition to get your house online now
to take advantage of all those buyers that are looking for properties and I'm
gonna get ready to jump on those houses as soon as we get the lockdown order
removed then I will help you do that you and I will sit down will come up with a
marketing strategy and a pricing strategy I'll explain to you the century
21 platform in detail and we will work on price in your house well a good
question or a question that comes up how can i price our house had better never
been in it well with your help with the power of the MLS with the power of all
the public records that I as a realtor have access to with the power of Google
Earth I will get the job done it is a definite pricing strategy we'll go over
the marketing strategy involved in pricing and all the other things I would
do at a traditional consultation right at your kitchen table then after we work
on the price I will again forward you via my computer or smartphone or tablet
the contracts the proper disclosures the contracts to be signed everything that
you need that you would normally do if we weren't in the crazy time that we're
in right now once we get the contracts signed
then I'll instruct you on how to take some basic pictures we'll give you all
the things you need to do to clean up the clutter to get the right angles the
right lighting and we'll get those pictures up and running online then I do
my job by uploading to the MLS do a great description of your property and
once it is uploaded to the MLS then we let the powers of the Multiple Listing
servus take hold all the other websites like Zillow and Trulia will all pick up
on your property and the buyers that are out there sitting at home will see it
and again just like having a moment ago my phone will start ringing and I will
take a list of all the buyers that are out there whom want to purchase or see
your property when we get the green light to do so so again this is an
advantage not a disadvantage the housing market was very strong before we had
this coronavirus issue I'm expecting the market to take off again because a lot
of people are going to want to sell it have been waiting - it might be a month
or so we don't really know how long it's going to take for us to get the green
light here but I will tell you it's gonna happen Long Island has always had
a very very strong real estate market so of you on one of the buyer's or seller's
that want to get your house listed or you want to buy this is the way to go
for those people that aren't a hundred percent sure I said I was going to share
with you something that you can use today to educate yourself and when
you're ready to put your house on the market whether it be today tomorrow a
month from now you'll be more educated than other people who didn't take
advantage of this YouTube channel I have over a hundred videos on the real estate

Transcript From Video:
should you be in the housing market during the current coronavirus pandemic
that's the topic of my next video should you be buying a house during the corona
virus pandemic that's the topic of today's video
can you save money is it safe we'll talk about those important points number one
Lawrence Young who is the National Association of Realtors chief economist
wrote an article on March 9th the corona virus is leading fewer home buyers
searching in the marketplace as well as listings being delayed so you have the
buyer pool and the seller pool both being affected by this
which is being affected more well with not 100% sure its market by market
understand that these things change everyday as the news media feeds us more
information things can get better things can get worse in the actual housing
market so what should you do well if you decide to stay in the market because he
also claims and we also know unless you're new to the housing market that
interest rates are at an all-time low I'm going to include a link to a video
that I have about what's going on with the interest rates right now some
mortgage bankers and economists believe that we haven't seen the bottom yet that
they're gonna get any lower so well that enticement of lower engine very low
interest rates keep you in this market you know versing the health concerns
that are out there that's your decision totally so if you decide to stay in the
market rather than waiting there are certain things that you need to consider
one if you decide you to stay in the CDC has guidelines there is a link in the
bottom of this or in the description that I'm going to give you follow those
follow those guidelines they're very similar to anything else you might do
and I'm gonna give you two important tips to help you with real estate
specifically one is do most your shopping online make your decisions
online look at the photos look at the videos if it's a upscale listing it
probably has some drone shots as well go on Google Earth check out the
neighborhood from goo or do a drive-by and then if you decided
something worth looking at ask your Realtor for a private showing of the
property any multiple any realtor who's a member of the Multiple Listing Service
should be able to get into that property if it's still available you want to
socially isolate as the CDC says keep yourself as far apart from other people
as possible number two if you show up to an open house and you notice it's
crowded the same thing I just mentioned a moment ago call up your broker as for
a private showing or call the broker that's at the open house and say listen
your open house ends at 2:30 can I come in 2:45 when nobody else is there and
get a private showing of the property they should have no problem with that I
know I would have no problem with that I would encourage it so those two
important tips plus the CDC guidelines are the things that you should follow
can you save money we don't really know it's a supply and demand thing and we
don't know which way that's gonna go I hope these tips were helpful please
