For the past year and a half, I have been doing hundreds of interior photos/inspections of private homes for mortgage lenders and loan servicing companies...five minutes in and out.
Due to the record-breaking appreciation in value, homeowners are electing to get rid of their PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance), which in current average price ranges, can be anywhere from an extra $150 to $350 each month in your pocket, rather than for unnecessary PMI insurance.
Anyway, my point here is that last year, 50% of the people wouldn't even want you to come due to Covid.
Today, as a courtesy, I have my mask in hand, waiting for them to answer the door. Invariably, they tell me not to bother with the mask.
So mentally, attitudes have been changed.
