June 2020: Embracing Cautious Optimism

Greetings, Neighbors!

To start, our team at Keller Williams would like to extend our utmost gratitude to all of the doctors, nurses, first responders, and essential workers, who continue to work on the front lines of this pandemic each and every day. You are truly our nation’s heroes.

We also want to underscore that we have and continue to take COVID-19 seriously. We honor and respect our clients’ wishes when it comes to social distancing, gloves, mask-wearing, etc., and we want our clients to know that we’ll honor all recommended safety procedures to ensure they’re comfortable during the home buying and selling process. Although some of our clients have become more relaxed regarding the safety procedures they choose to employ, we still support being cautious and following recommended guidelines– for all of the obvious reasons.

As far as the local real estate market, it is an essential service and many people have needed to buy or sell, and we have not missed a beat.

In 2017, Keller Williams put $1 billion into its agents and technology and announced that the company is a technology company disguised as a real estate company. Why is this relevant? Because with the situation we’ve been dealing with these past few months, our company has been well-positioned to make the switch to a virtual business model. Virtual showings, virtual signings, virtual walkthroughs… we have it all!

Are home search apps and virtual real estate transactions going to be the new norm? I’m not sure, but these digital resources will certainly still be available no matter what. As a company, we enjoy being able to interact with and meet with our clients in person. However, in times like these, when someone wants to proceed in a virtual environment, we have the capability to accommodate them.

With government restrictions lessening, beaches reopening, and businesses starting to allow people back into their doors, I feel nothing but cautious optimism from clients and consumers.

Just look at the last seven days of our MLS: We want every to know that PARADISE in SWFL is open for business- and we’re here (and ready) to help in any way we can.

If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, our team is here to help you achieve your residential real estate goals. Whether buying or selling, our tools are PROVEN to help you get the most from your transaction!
