Important life events wonât wait until the coronavirus pandemic subsides and we come out of isolation. You may be missing intimate, in-person celebrations of birthdays, weddings, and even the birth of a child because of social distancing guidelines. But there are ways you can not only engage with loved ones from afar but also build up your mental strength at home during these trying times. Christine Hansen, the National Association of REALTORS®â 2020 vice president of advocacy, has tips to maintain your positivity in the video above. Part of how you can establish a sense of control through chaos is to take care of your financial wellness.
Another timely way to feel connected to your community is to commemorate Fair Housing Month at home, staying educated about how you can ensure an equitable path to housing for vulnerable neighborsâespecially at this time. Being a champion for fairness is a sure-fire way to feel fulfilled. On a related note, weâve been hearing from REALTORS® who are asking whether the REALTORS® Code of Ethics applies to membersâ conduct during this health crisis. We asked our ethics columnist, Bruce Aydt, to address those questions.
