How Many Geeks Does it Take to Sell a House?

Can You Sell a House and Move Using the Web Exclusively?

Drew raised some interesting questions after stumbling across a post on Proud Geek earlier today.

The blogger (and his wife) conducted a 8-month experiment to sell their home using the web. No phone calls. Only e-mail, text messaging, and web tools.

There were 6 main steps they went through during the experiment (you can read their findings on Proud Geek):

• Find a realtor via the web and who’s willing to do everything through email
• Advertise the home on the web
• Find a lender who’s willing to deal exclusively via the web
• Switching or starting new utilities and services for a new house
• Find a moving company willing to deal via web and email
• Changing addresses for a range of organizations, stores, banks, employment-related sites, etc

Can you, as a real estate agent, meet the criteria the blogger set forth? What about you mortgage folks?

Sellers, how important is electronic communication to you?

Our team always get hung up with the utility vendors.

What’s your experience?
