eClosing and Buying a Home: Technology’s Role in Closing on a Mortgage

Technology is transforming everything; it is changing the way we communicate, the way we access goods and services, and even the way we purchase homes. Soon, more and more consumers may increasingly find themselves being offered technology that allows them to access, sign, and submit mortgage closing documents online. We believe that “eClosing” can leverage technology in the mortgage closing process by providing consumers with more time to review closing disclosures and transform the way consumers relate to the overwhelming process of closing on a home.

Tech Up Your Open House

Using Technology at Open Houses

 

Do you want to separate yourself from the competition and make yourself shine for potential buyers and the seller?  Here are 5 simple ideas that can make you look like a techie and win the day:

 

360 Degree Camera or App

Create a virtual open house, including each room, so you can email a follow-up reminder of what the home looked like to those who attended the open house.  You may also want to email a link to the video to past clients who you think might be interested in that type/style of home. 

 

iPad or Tablet

Preloaded with pictures, mortgage information, schools, events, neighborhood/city information.  Create bullet points so it’s easy to read.  And, it’s easy to update as key stats change.  Instead of a printed flyer, hand them the device to read while waiting to view the home or going from room to room.

 

Slide Show Presentation

Ask the seller for photos of the home during different seasons of the year.  Take photos of local parks and attractions where someone might bike, hike, ski or work out.  Not only will this give them a sense of living the house, but living in the community as well.  

If the home is equipped with “smart technology,” like a remote heat and air conditioning setting apps, video security or smart appliances, be sure to not only mention it, but learn how to demonstrate those features.
