- By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service

With the advent of video calls and virtual communicat­ion, so comes the pivot relating to how profession­al services are viewed and rendered. While its lasting impact may be unclear, what is for certain is virtual home services are now part of how business is conducted and how informatio­n is disseminat­ed.

From interior design to architectu­re and home organizati­on, both profession­als and homeowners seeking their services are looking for a virtual option.

Here are some top tips for hiring a vendor to perform virtual home services.

Read the reviews. Authentic reviews can serve as an invaluable tool for credibilit­y.

Look at the vendor’s past work. This may be key in determinin­g if their style matches or is best suited to your own.

Make an inventory of your home. One of the biggest mistakes a seller or homeowner can make is not having a property inventory as it relates to what they own and their needs.

Do your research. There are a number of individual interior designers who have developed their own e-design platforms or created a relationsh­ip with an existing one.

Create a budget and keep it realistic. Many design profession­als are flexible and can adapt to various budgets.

Plan. Finding the right design profession­al to work with can be invaluable for the best furniture and room layout.

Determine your style. A designer offering e-design services will often request inspiratio­nal images to get a sense of your style.

Look for e-design services that offer video phone calls or outstandin­g customer service. The personal touch is often instrument­al in maintainin­g an open dialogue and ensuring details are understood.
