Become Your Own Real Estate Resource Center

Welcome and good morning to Mike Ferry TV ... the week of April 20th. Who would have thought on March 1st of this year, which was virtually 45 … 50 days ago, that our country, North America, and most of the world would be in the position we're in today? I don't think anybody could really project that, but we're in that position … and now, of course, we have to adapt to how we're going to do business and how to make our business continue to run to service the Buyers and Sellers we have.

When it's a time of crisis, we have to behave in a different manner than we would normally. Learning to work remotely, which a lot of you are learning to do, is really a huge advantage because when we go back to normal ... you'll have two avenues ... your office and the support that you get there...
