The basics to how Covid has affected / changed a market

Picture

Closing Comments

Thank you to Staci Saeger / NAI Summit for her time. From follow-up e-mail:
"After further review from ownership, they asked me to pass at this time. With the pandemic, we are being careful as to what we publish."

Unfortunately, either Ms. Martinez does not have experience / knowledge / intelligence to answer. After 2 in-person conversations, she expressed interest. 3 e-mails were unanswered.

Introduction

I have been curious how Covid has affected a certain industry: real estate. The virus definitely added a more online / virtual experience in several areas. I noticed before Covid, the real estate industry was already evolving (using drones, online tours, even true virtual experiences). This is one area you definitely need the physical side to make a decision.

ValeCity has a policy to be unbiased. When interviews are requested from multiple sources, everything is listed. You have a right to know what is happening. Questions appear here with person / organization contacted, date, response.

Questions / Commercial

​1. Why did you choose a career in real estate? / What gained your interest in becoming a real estate agent?  
2.What are some of the challenges involved in entering real estate? Any initial, financial, costs?  
3. Is a formal education / degree / certificate required to enter the real estate business?  
4. When Covid-19 / Coronavirus hit, from your experiences, what happened with the real estate market / business?  
5. How have technologies changed in the real estate business? Examples: showing properties / meeting potential buyers.  
6. Was the real estate business solidly included in the Pennsylvania shutdown or a gray area? By this I mean, were there exceptions / exclusions or the entire market / business marked as non-essential?  
7. When restrictions started to lift, how fast is the real estate market / business recovering? 
8. How has Covid-19 / Coronavirus affected your learning / advancement in real estate?  
9. Hypothetically, if there is another shutdown, how much do you believe the real estate business will be impacted? Examples: Properties still being shown / bought. Potential buyers being more cautious.  
10. At the risk of stating the obvious: rules / restrictions are still in a state of change / flux. Does this impact the real estate business / market? Positive or Negative?  
11. Since Covid-19 / Coronavirus started, in your opinion, is it more of a buyers or seller’s market?  
12. Again, in your opinion, has it become easier to buy a property since Covid-19 / Coronavirus started? Examples: Easier to receive loans / financing. Sellers more willing to work with potential buyers.  
13. Advice for someone who is considering real estate either as a career or part time?
