SHOW NOTES

How are you helping your clients make good decisions during COVID-19?

For April 17’s “This Week in Housing” I was joined by the team of Keeping Current Matters, the CEO and Chief Content Creator, Steve Harney and David Childers, Vice President of Content and Marketing. 

In today’s webinar, we went more in-depth on unemployment data in the U.S. and comparing numbers to 2008’s recession. 

Steve and David also shared what Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo are all saying about Q2.

All of this information that we cover during the webinar is for you to take and help your clients make the best decisions. We’re not living in a housing crisis, we’re living in a health crisis that turned into an economic crisis. So, you have to be well informed of the constant changes that are happening.

I also stress the importance of being well informed so you can take off AC (after COVID-19) and answer a couple of your urgent questions! 

Help your clients by educating them with data. I hope this webinar will also help you have clarity during COVID-19 and help boost you AC!
