The National Association of REALTORS® entered into a partnership with Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) in which NAR and its state and local REALTOR® associations have committed to generating more than $4 million to build as many as 54 homes along the Gulf Coast. The NAR-Habitat partnership calls for a portion of the homes to be started as Homes in a Box. A Home in a Box is the frame of a house, constructed in a remote location that will be shipped to and completed in the Gulf Region. Starting a home as a Home in a Box is a fast and efficient way to begin the building process of a new home. The remaining homes will be conventional builds that are constructed from the ground up in their permanent locations.
In addition to raising $75,000 per home for the cost of land and building materials, REALTORS® are volunteering their time and skills to assist in the building of these homes and the Long Island Board of REALTORS® is sending four people to join the New York State Association of REALTORS® from June 1st to the 6th. Stay tuned for photos and updates from Louisiana all week!
In my tech tip, I mentioned how using virtual walkthroughs and video tours help sell listings faster. So much so, that buyers exposed to video are 4x more likely to act.
Do you find that this is true? Is anyone using video to promote their listings?
Talk to me…what’s happening out there with Real Estate Video???
