IT’S not your usual tour of a house for sale.

This open house is done virtually, live-streamed for just over 16 minutes to prospective buyers who’ve opted to view the property from the comfort and safety of their preferred electronic device because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Michelle Scott, the real estate agent doing the virtual open house, is masked, her hands encased in disposable gloves. Before the tour of the top-floor apartment begins, she explains the routine that awaits prospective buyers who may stop by after viewing the live stream. “It is one person per entry into the apartment, even if you’re a couple. You come back out, you discuss; we are capable of having you go in again as soon as possible, but one person at a time,” she says politely but firmly, voice slightly raised to get through the layers of her mask
