Modern Market Realtors encourages members to have open and honest conversations with sellers about the pros and cons of holding an open house so they can make informed decisions based on local risk factors and their comfort level. These types of conversations are also happening with buyer clients regarding how they choose to view homes.
“We have heard local reports that folks are taking advantage of video and virtual tours, which allow buyers to view listed homes from anywhere, and instead of making appointments, some listing agents have implemented ‘showing hours’ to limit the number of people who visit the property to a predetermined time frame.” How big of an impact and where and how it hits is still kind of a mystery; we're taking it day by day at Modern Market Realtors.

These unique challenges will pass in time. I remain optimistic for the future. Thank You Health Care Workers" and "Everything Will Be Alright." We will get through this, together, because we are a resilient community and society.”
