I saw banning of auction and open-for-inspection as early as January 2020, but somehow the state government was just pussyfooting.
When I was teaching problem solving, I always taught to consider and evaluate the worst case scenario. If one can get out of the worst case with minimum damage, then one is ready to deal with any situation.
Looking for loophole is not the way to tackle a problem. For example, arranging private inspection. The fact is social distancing laws clearly say that social visitation is not allowed, and inspecting a property is not an essential purchase like buying food.
This is the most testing time in human history, and everyone including the real estate agents are not different from others in the community.
The government keeps saying Victoria is in Stage-3 restrictions, and possibly Stage-4 is forthcoming. A better educated person like me don’t even know what these jargons mean. It is better to clear cut that makes no exceptions than the rules - just call it a lockdown!
The sooner everyone gets into the act of staying home, non-food and emergency “trade” businesses stay shut, the sooner the spread can be stopped, and Victoria will be back on the road of recovery.
I went through slack time before, but not a disaster like this pandemic. I spent my time designing my own real estate software, working on new design brochures, reading books and articles of successful professionals, and working on my garden - an essential component of real estate.
It is easier said than done, many will remark. How about consider this slack period as non-pay leave and hang in there until government assistance kick in?
Thank you for reading.
