Our Next 48 Hours

Hard to miss Governor Inslee’s recently concluded a press conference this evening during which he provided a “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order. Within this order, Gov. Inslee indicated he will close all businesses that are not deemed essential within the next 48 hours for a two week period.

What does that mean for our real estate industry? Aka, you + me?

We have 48 hours to figure it out. Together with the quick + insightful leadership across the NWMLS, the Washington REALTORS, the National Association of REALTORS and many of our brokerage members we are discovering what this means for us. Collectively these entities are “on it” so that we may deliver a consistent message across our local industry. We are in this together; one sandbox.

As soon as a consistent message is available; you’ll receive it. The next 48 hours to figure it out starts right now.

A note tonight from Todd Miller, President CW Title & Escrow

Being that the title and escrow business supports financial services and banking it is believed that we are deemed an essential business under Governor Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order.  Without our efforts, banks and financial services institutions are significantly limited in their ability to lend within the real estate market. While I believe we are essential under the Governor’s order, our leadership team will now begin working with our counsel to ensure that we are, in fact, in the “essential business” category. With that in mind, CW Title will remain open for business tomorrow and will continue to safely provide world-class title and escrow services to our clients. Thank you for all that you do.  We will get through this together! – Todd Miller | President, CW Title & Escrow

What will remain in the very immediate…

Stay connected with your offices; with your virtual meetings; with communication on the Windermere HUB; and in caring about each other. Discover new ways to reach out + care + connect. We are adjusting beautifully, together. Hang in there! We are in a big snow storm and it will melt.

I’m home, I’m healthy, I’m grateful to be and here for you.

Committed to “calm + caring thru crisis.” All in, for you. All in, for us.
