Alternative Tools to Replace Open Houses 
There are a number of software options available to conduct “virtual showings” that can be combined with mobile video chat applications:

·       Facebook: The simplest way is to use the camera app on your mobile phone, or social media solutions like Facebook Messenger and Facebook Live.

·       Homesnap Pro: Users of this application can create video stories for free, attach them to their Homesnap listings and promote via social media channels. Visit: https://blog.homesnap.com/introducing-homesnap-stories/
