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)](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/workplace-school-and-home-guidance.pdf)** 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 **

Prepare safely online so you can act quickly when you are ready to physically tour a home. [Consider these steps](https://university.hometraq.com/5-steps-for-first-time-home-buyers) in your home search.

 

**<https://explore.hometraq.com/see-home-now-email>SCHEDULE A PRIVATE HOME TOUR**  
When you find a home online that you are interested in, [schedule a private home tour](https://explore.hometraq.com/see-it-now-email).  At the home, avoid contact with people & objects as much as possible.

 

**<https://university.hometraq.com/you-found-your-dream-home-now-call-the-listing-agent-to-view-it>AVOID PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES**   
[Limiting your exposure](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/workplace-school-and-home-guidance.pdf) to large gatherings of people protects you from being in contact with people & surfaces which possibly could be infected.
