It certainly feels weird for the majority of us, getting back to work. The pleasantries of a courteous handshake, and a little small talk, came so naturally, and now we are asked to enter a clients house while socially distancing. The thin gauze of a cheap face mask, seems such an impossible barrier, unable to read the expression on someones face. And yet we will get used to it - it is just another change in procedure, but the nature of the business remains exactly the same as it did at the start of this crazy year.
Fortunately, Estate Agents are used to being versatile and have always managed to adapt to new regulations and circumstances, it's what you do! Every listing requires such a sensitive and individual approach - there is no way you could use the same pitch on every market appraisal. You have had to adapt to soaring mortgage interest rates, the banking crisis, a boom/bust property market, and then someone throws in the PMA and Money Laundering Act - but Estate Agents coped, and will continue to cope. Forever tarnished with a ridiculous 1970's stereotype, estate agents have become resilient and are already finding solutions to the new issues which Covid 19 has presented. While everyone hopes for a solution, Estate Agents are finding ways of existing in the present. Innovative, Creative and Empathetic - what a wonderful way to be.
