Our Leadership Team is monitoring this situation very closely and are here to support you any way we can. As many of our REALTORS are already used to working from home or remotely, we are here to support. We care about our communities and have Agents all over the city, so if you're in need of any support reach out to us and we'll do our best to find an Agent in your location that can help.
We are open for business under these adjusted changes to normal operation. Our Agents are equipped with e-signature and video software tools, to allow for virtual meetings and document signing.
