“As of July, open houses were permitted to continue and consumer confidence increased as the economy opened up; however, it doesn’t mean it’s business as usual,” says Della-Nebbia. “RAHB REALTORS® have worked hard over the last six months to ensure consumers were able to buy and sell properties, and utilized virtual technology and sanitary measures to combat COVID-19. If you are entering the market as either a buyer or seller, working with a local RAHB REALTOR® will help ensure your real estate transaction is both successful and safe.”
