  • Schedule a virtual buyer consult with one of our Root Agents. It’s important to find a real estate agent that best suits you, and as the Void #1 Best in Jax Boutique Brokerage, we know anyone on our team can help you find your home. We’re connecting with buyers through Zoom chats to get to know one another (foodies, favorite movies, etc.!), talk through your wish list, and to walk Once you through the Root Path to Home Buying. Feel free to ask our agents any questions about their experience and knowledge of the business. Once you’re confident in the Root process, you’ll sign a Buyer/Broker agreement and get to the fun parts!

  • Search for Houses to Buy online. Once you’ve decided to work with Root, your agent will start putting together a list from MLS that will compile your wish list with what’s available in the current market. Take virtual tours through listing photos and even tour homes virtually with videos of select listings!

  • Narrow your search. If you are loving a property, you and your agent will come up with a plan for you to see the home! First, your agent can give you a FaceTime tour of the home to get a better feel for the location, the closet space, the layout, and all of the fun details, so you can stay safe and #StayHome!

  • Schedule a showing safely. Once you are ready to move forward on a property, we’ll schedule a showing of the home. It’s important for your safety and the safety of our team that only necessary personnel attend the showing. Your agent will wear masks, booties when available, and make sure that necessary doors are already open. We would encourage you to do the same! Throughout the showing, we’ll maintain a safe 6 foot distance from one another while still giving you the full experience of picturing yourself in this potential home. We’ve outlined our best practices for Root Buyers!

  • Make an offer digitally. Your Root agent will handle all things offer related! She will work directly with the Listing Agent and ensure your offer will be presented properly. Everything from this point forward can be done digitally! You can connect via email, phone, text, or Zoom to discuss the process. Once an offer is accepted, our incredible Transaction Coordinator, Beckie Hyatt, will make sure every element is in place for a stress-free closing!

  • Close on your new home! Our amazing Preferred Partners J. Riley Law, PLC. are offering Drive-Up Closings, so you can stay in your own vehicle but sign your documents! There are also options for mail away closings and digital notaries. Talk to your agent about the option that you’re most comfortable with!
