DO YOUR PART
We are doing our part to follow the CDC guidelines and taking extra precautions when showing homes during this time. Staying home can be a challenge for many but it’s also not the hardest thing in the world to do. We suggest using a service like Instacart or Shipt for grocery delivery.
