Velasco Chronicle & Buzz
April 2020
|
Welcome to our 9th edition of Velasco Chronicle and Buzz. First and Foremost, we hope this message finds all of you safe and sound, during these "Shelter in Place" times and most important in good health. We know you are spending a lot of time with your loved ones at home, virtual working, virtual educating, and finding ways to pass time and adapting to our new environment. We wanted this newsletter to be positive, informative and mix it up from our standard and pass format.
I, Joe Velasco, my family, and sales team understand that there are things that we cannot control, but we are committed to what we can control and that is the choice to be happy and focus on our health, family, friends and to be grateful for what we have.
We wanted to share a few virtual recommendations that you can do at home, and something for everyone from, live virtual fitness classes, virtual museums, virtual travel, virtual cooking classes, and so on… you get the message.
We would love to hear your feedback and share something you may discovered online, that we can share with our networks.
We will continue to share our Compass Market Reports from Patrick Carlisle, Compass Chief Market Analyst, and a macro report since "The Shelter In Place" ordinance.
Sit back and scroll through our Virtual 3D Open Houses available 24/7, Featured Listings and Coming Soon Listings as well and of course our Unique Home Sale and Video of the Month.
We hope the virtual events we share, are of interest to you, and find the market trends reports insightful. We look forward to connecting virtually online via,
ZOOM, let's schedule a call and catch up!

In 1952—an epidemic year for polio—there were 58,000 new cases reported in the USA, and more than 3,000 died from the disease. The vaccine eventually eradicated the disease globally.
