Dear Friends and Clients,
Attached please find our Q1 2020 newsletter. What a difference a pandemic makes. We started out the year on a high, thinking the market would continue to flourish and break records for the longest growth trend in history. Today, we know a completely difference world due to COVID-19. While we are currently challenged in ways we don’t yet understand, we study the market to find the new “normal”. We do know that our area will continue to grow, and growth will be solid for years to come. We see recovery in the 2nd quarter and as such the second half of the year is expected to show solid growth. We will continue to monitor the market and update you as data points shift.
As always, thank you for your trust and confidence in our capabilities. Please feel free to call or email me any time with questions about commercial real estate in our region.
Sincerely,
Gary Tasman

WHATS HAPPENING IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE
As the new “normal” is defined in social distancing, 6 foot office seperation and the extension of work from home offices, rebalancing work and life will become challenging. Your kitchen table is now your office or classroom. Regular schedules are difficult to maintain as home and work morph into one.
As many of us have been forced into work at home situations, we have learned personally and as a company how productive we can be. It was a bit challenging getting 20+ employees set up to work from home but with the help of a great out sourced IT professional we succeeded. We faced challenges many others faced as schools went virtual, the strain on our internet related infrastructure were taxed.
See the trends that emerged as our company joined the quickly growing work force that relied on technology to continue to work and not miss a beat for our customers.
