What You Can Do To Help

If you are buying or selling a housein the DMV area, there are coronavirus protections you should put in place for you and your family. We recommend holding off on seeing homes in person or having people in your house to come and see it. These things can be done online for the time being until the curve has been flattened and life begins to return to normal.

Try to avoid having outsiders come in for repairs or maintenance. However, if there is an emergency and something needs to be repaired, make sure they have protective covering and that you keep your distance. Be sure to sterilize your house on a regular basis, especially if a repairman or other professional comes into your home to provide a service. Washing your hands, disinfecting your house, and practicing social distancing are the best ways to keep you and your family safe. If you feel any sign of illness, stay home and call your doctor immediately!
