COVID-19 Update
Sunday, March 29th, 2020
Hi all. I know many of you have questions during this trying time.
First, I just want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to anyone affected by the COVID-19 virus. I would also like to thank our healthcare workers and those working at grocery stores and pharmacies, as well as delivery drivers and others risking their own health to make sure our community is looked after as we try and weather this pandemic.
As far as real estate goes, realtors have been deemed a “non-healthcare essential service”, and as such, we are still on the job, working for our clients, albeit taking extreme caution and limiting in-person contact wherever possible.
The BCREA has posted the following Information for Real Estate Consumers on COVID-19:

The Bank of Canada has also responded to the crisis by lowering interest rates:

For my clients, please know I am doing my best to stay on top of industry developments while still working to assist you. I thank you for continuing to have confidence in my skill and expertise during this challenging period. We will get through this!
Trevor
