Best Practices for Managing COVID-19 and Your Real Estate Business

Best Practices for Managing COVID-19 and Your Real Estate Business

Agents and real estate professionals from around the country have reached out to me to ask for the best practices for managing the impact of COVID-19 on your real estate business.

Truthfully, there is no right answer. Personally, I’ve been able to apply my experience with the Great Recession where I built a very large and successful short sale and foreclosure negotiation business that is still thriving to this day. And, lots of the same tips and tools that I previously learned apply to the pandemic.

I’ve written these 5 articles below, which may provide you with some food for thought as to how to approach the pandemic survival in your own business. And, I hope you will be able to walk away with a few nuggets of wisdom.

One Final Idea

At my brokerage, Broadpoint Properties, we’ve started to really “home in” on the concerns of buyers and sellers. To that end, we have created the infographic below which we are sharing in many aspects of our business and social posting. We really wanted to spread the word that people can do a totally safe real estate transaction during tough times. And, we’ve gotten positive results from our graphic.
