Hi, Friends.
To say that much has changed in the last few weeks would be the granddaddy of all understatements, and if you're still struggling to pick up the pieces and recalibrate, we're with you.
As we all work to determine how we can best navigate the pandemic itself, our lives indoors, and the online-only dynamic with our friends and loved ones, a couple things have become pretty clear: 1) Things are changing hourly, and while staying informed is crucial, so is tuning out from time to time. 2) We're insanely grateful for the connections we have to friends and strangers the world over. We've no clue how to do this...but it won't stop us trying.
Yes, we're still open for business, though "open" means something a little different these days. While our in-office crew are working remotely and our agents are meeting with clients either virtually or from a very safe distance, this little business of ours is still humming along. We're still selling homes and they're still being bought up, our designers are still weaving dreams in tiles and textiles, and our writers are feverishly working to bring you all kinds of new content. Things don't look the same as they did a few weeks ago, but we're still very much here for you, pals. And we'll continue to be until we see these scary times through.
There's a special kind of content being cooked up for you to specifically peruse while self-quarantining these coming weeks. We're working to compile local resources, e-reading lists, free online classes, and other fun and helpful stuff to help you navigate these strange days and nights. (And, if you're not already, we highly recommend giving our Instagram a follow—we've got loads of good stuff!)
For now, you'll find our care package of new content right here. Keep tabs, as we'll be updating the links often. Stay safe in there, friends.
