Not living in fear, perspective, hope and caring in this time of Covid-19, the offical title for the corona virus pandemic that is sweeping the world right now.  People all over the world are living with this new reality. A virus that is fast moving and very contagious has made it from China, through Italy and now here in the US. There was political maneuvering from the Oval Office that promises to make it worse in the states.  Federal response has been slow and plodding. Fortunately the individual State officials are stepping up in the wake of the response to protect their citizens. Here in Massachusetts our Governor has already taken strong actions.

Later today we are doing a podcast on Broker-Talk.com with a Luxury Agent from Milan, Italy. He will share with us what his country and his business has been doing over the last month of this pandemic in his country. There are so many questions here and it is now a time for action to protect yourself and your family. Washing hands, cleaning surfaces, limiting time around people in public is the beginning of protecting yourself.

Real estate industry continues to go on. People are still buying and selling homes and now they are using new approaches.  Live video tours are taking the place of open houses. Private showings are replacing group showings. If you are sick, STAY HOME.  That should be easy because most business have already been shut down due to the pandemic. Schools are closed, restaurants have no seatings and are only doing take out.  At this point it is less than a week since the Federal Government even admitted there is an issue and this is months after they were made aware. Now is not the time to be making or loosing political points, it is a time for Americans to show our extraordinary resolve and spirit. Stay well. Not living in fear, perspective, hope and caring
