Although we have seen a decrease in transaction volume in the townhouse market, in the midst of COVID-19, buyers and sellers are still active. Technology and creativity are more important than ever right now. For the time being, virtual tours and remote closings are the norm; this could permanently change the way we work in the real estate industry.

Despite the traditional, face-to-face nature of real estate transactions, our team and firm have adjusted quickly to get a number of deals done since being quarantined. Within the last two weeks alone, we’ve had 2 closings, which were all conducted virtually from walk-throughs to escrow, and 2 signed contracts.
