FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WFFT) - You can expect to see more virtual tours during this time because of COVID-19.

While many realtors have stopped working, realtors Melissa Maddox and Ben Wahli said there are still people who prefer in person tours.

They are doing them keeping all sanitary supplies accessible during each tour making sure everything is clean and safe.

They say doing tours virtually has not slowed down the selling process at all because the need to sell and buy is still high.
