Mar 13, 2020 8:58:11 PM / by Brett O'Daniell

Like you, we have spent the last several days and weeks learning about the coronavirus (COVID-19) and how it is impacting our world.  We are closely following the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) guidelines and recommendations on the steps we can take to help prevent the spread of the virus. Here are some highlights per CDC guidance:
AVOID CROWDING:
  • Use online booking and scheduling to stagger customer flow
  • Use online transactions where possible
  • Consider limiting attendance at larger gatherings

USE GOOD HYGIENE:

  • Stop handshaking 
  • Clean hands at the door
  • Avoid contact with doorknobs, tables, desks, and handrails

When you find a home online that you are interested in, schedule a private home tour.  At the home, avoid contact with people & objects as much as possible.
