Though it has been difficult for many industries to adapt to the protocols of the pandemic. The real-estate industry has been able to navigate using appropriate safety measures and continued to thrive.
As a real-estate agent, I take my clients health and safety with the utmost seriousness and ensure every open house, showing or walk-through is done safely using all COVID-19 recommended safety protocols. Nothing is ever done or pushed upon a client just to get a sale. I hope to continue to build long lasting relationships with my clients who almost always become friends.
