Sometimes, one has to look on the bright side of things. From the ashes of the destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, new opportunities emerged. The world learned how to stay connected when being isolated was a requirement. People came together in extraordinary and unprecedented ways even though, technically, that wasn’t possible. And all of this happened thanks to the wonderful opportunities put forward by technology.

The world has a funny w ay of surprising us and showing us who we are, sometimes. The events industry is a perfect example of this.

As you close in on making an offer on a home, your real estate agent – or the seller’s agent – will ask about “earnest money.” Earnest money is a type of security deposit, also known as a “good faith” deposit, offered to show the seller of a home that you’re serious about purchasing the property. How does earnest money work? Earnest money is the money you pay soon after a home seller has accepted your offer on a house.

The real estate industry has been shifting to a digital landscape over the years, but no one expected the digital revolution to happen so quickly. In 2020, 63% of homebuyers across the US housing market made an offer on a house sight-unseen, thanks to virtual house tours. Even though it’s a seller’s market, it’s just as important to make your home shine on virtual house tours so you can sell your house for top dollar.

A lot of work goes into preparing a home for sale, from basic property improvements to making sure every room looks perfect for upcoming open houses and home tours. However, there’s one big step many sellers overlook: a pre-listing home inspection. Typically sellers wait until a potential buyer makes an offer on their home, and then the buyer pays for an inspection.

How long does it take an average traveler to pick up a hotel? As far as we know, no scientific research is getting done to answer this question. Yet, the real-life experience clearly shows that people spend hours and even days sifting through dozens if not hundreds of options.
