We Buy Ugly Houses® Boston To Provide Virtual Consultations During COVID-19

2020-03-31T10:37:21-04:00March 31st, 2020|Tags: , , , |

We Buy Ugly Houses® Boston Gives Homeowners an Option to Sell While Social Distancing.

BOSTON — For sellers throughout the Greater Boston area who need to sell their homes as soon as possible, HomeVestors®, the We Buy Ugly Houses® people, will now offer phone and video consultations during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition to answering standard consultation questions, sellers will be encouraged to either send in photographs, or take buyers on a video walkthrough of the property in order to verify the condition of the home. All consultations will continue to be free of charge, with no obligation.

Following the consultation, if it makes sense for both parties, the We Buy Ugly Houses® Boston property specialist will then present a cash offer to buy the house. We Buy Ugly Houses® Boston will schedule an in-person closing appointment after concerns for COVID-19 are alleviated.

The decision to go virtual comes after Gov. Charlie Baker issued a statewide stay-at-home advisory, which encourages individuals to stay in their homes and closed all nonessential businesses throughout Massachusetts. Valuing the safety of its community members and recognizing the importance of this advisory, We Buy Ugly Houses® Boston will use these virtual consultations to uphold this issue, while still giving homeowners in difficult situations an option to sell.

Although typically about 40% of home sales occur between March and June, the NAR released a recent survey that homebuyer interest has decreased by 48% due to coronavirus concerns. Since most buyers need to walk through a home before purchasing, We Buy Ugly Houses® Boston will use these virtual consultations as a way to ease seller worries during this unprecedented time.

About We Buy Ugly Houses® Boston

HomeVestors®, also known as the We Buy Ugly Houses® people, was formed in 1996 to give homeowners a fast and easy way to sell a house or unwanted property for cash. Since then, we’ve bought over 100,000 homes and have become America’s #1 cash home buyer. HomeVestors® strives to make a positive impact in each of its 176 markets. We Buy Ugly Houses® Boston purchases homes throughout Greater Boston, including Barnstable, Bristol, Dukes, Essex, Middlesex, Nantucket, Norfolk, Plymouth and Suffolk counties. Each franchise office is independently owned and operated. For more information, visit https://www.webuyuglyhouses.com/boston or call 857-323-6843.
