7 Apps to Help You Stay Connected While Social Distancing
Staying connected in a time of social distancing is no easy task. Yet, with all the new challenges our world is facing, we continue to find ways of maintaining our ties to one another. We think staying connected with loved ones is more important than ever, and our real estate agents are thrilled to share some of the apps we've been using to stay in touch.
- Zoom
Over the last couple of months, Zoom's popularity has skyrocketed, and not just for virtual business conferences, but social gatherings as well. The app can host up to 1,000 video participants in a session, making it great for getting large groups of friends together. Sessions under 40 minutes are free, but beyond that, you'll need a subscription. - Netflix Party
Chances are you've been watching more TV than ever in 2020, but you're not alone if you miss having friends to binge your favorite shows with. Luckily, there's a solution for anyone who has a Netflix account and a Google Chrome web browser. Netflix Party is a Chrome extension that makes it possible to sync up your Netflix account with your friends' accounts, so you can watch TV in tandem, and even communicate back and forth.

Closing Real Estate Deals from a Distance With Virtual Technology
Continued advances in technology have made it easy and convenient to find a REALTOR® and search for homes online. Working with a REALTOR® is more important now than ever, as buyers and sellers navigate the "new normal" in the real estate industry.
Now, buyers typically work with an agent to view properties virtually, and then schedule showings with their REALTOR® for properties of great interest. When it comes time to present an offer, Wagner Realty agents can arrange for all documentation to be finalized virtually as well.
