Reaching Out
Bear with us please, as this is, of sorts, a love letter to our agents and staff who make up our brokerage. If you aren’t opposed to sappy sentiment, please enjoy and feel free to admire the photos to the left. That said, this is to our amazing agents – THANK YOU agents and staff for rising above your personal fears and helping others for no other reason than the health and safety of our communities and the love of humanity.
You, like all people during this time, have concerns about your business, your finances, protecting your family’s health, and figuring out how to navigate and do business in this new environment with many new safety rules and restrictions. Real estate, like many other industries, is being asked to remain committed to an immediate future that remains uncertain, while staying hopeful and moving forward nonetheless. You are being asked to still serve your clients in some capacity, to still work in the midst of navigating this new norm, to coordinate virtual appointments in between homeschooling kids, to take care of loved ones while juggling conference calls, to check on the senior members of your family in between Zoom calls, and to be a partial front-liner while maintaining the safety and sanity of yourself and those around you. You could have sat down, shut down, given up, and hibernated. You did not. Instead you chose to RISE UP and make a difference! You all showed up in so many awe-inspiring, heartfelt ways!
In the first six weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter in place, you did not remain idle. While you may have remained physically distant, you were not socially so. Many of you looked past your own concerns for the future and answered the call for immediate concerns of neighbors, coworkers, community workers, first responders, health care workers, and many more!
We’ve seen you drop off paper towels to elderly neighbors, sew masks galore until your fingers were sore, organize donations of medical supplies, call your friends, family, clients, and past clients, bring food and coffee to ER staff, bake bread and other goodies for people you know and don’t know, organize fundraisers, spread seeds of hope and love, collect groceries for charities and businesses, and so much more! The list can go on and on.
If crisis reveals a person’s character, it certainly echoes true in their business. As you are all the heart and soul of Dudum Real Estate Group, we are honored and beyond proud to see that because of your actions and reactions, our character as a company remains strong, caring and focused on goodness, because each of you have shown up and shown yourselves to be those things. Dudum is, because you are.
THANK YOU! Thank you for showing yourselves to be everything we hope and aim to be as a brokerage and family. We are so proud of you and your generous actions during this unprecedented time...and we just know, the best is yet to come!
