Grant’s direct answer
Yes. Grant is comfortable with remote leasing when the shortlist is carefully narrowed and HomeBase has strong knowledge of the finalists. The process should combine reliable property video, current property answers, live virtual verification when useful, and an exact written quote for the specific apartment. The renter’s comfort level still controls; some people want an in-person trip, while others are comfortable leasing remotely. The key is not simply replacing an in-person tour with a video call. HomeBase becomes more selective so the renter is choosing from higher-confidence options rather than a broad list of apartments that may require an in-person feel check.
