A word from our Principal, Cameron Williams
On behalf of the team at Williams Property I would like to provide an update on our response to the COVID-19 crisis.
As the situation with COVID-19 is rapidly evolving we are taking proactive measures to place the health and wellbeing of our team, clients and contractors first and foremost.
We are going through unprecedented times but please rest assured that the Williams Property team is available to advise and assist you with all your real estate needs.
WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
Some of the measures we have implemented to protect the health and wellbeing of our staff and clients as well as embrace Government lockdown objectives include the following:
Symptoms Disclosure
We do request that all clients and contractors that engage with our business in person advise us immediately if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, are self isolating, suspect they have come into contact with an infected person or have recently travelled overseas.
Hygiene
During all appointments our staff, clients and contractors will adhere to all current Government and health authority guidelines including social distancing and good hygiene practices such as not shaking hands, regularly washing hands and wiping down equipment and surfaces that they may come into contact with.
Office Attendance
Our office is operating on a "by appointment' basis and we have prepared our team to otherwise work on remote platforms and from home. Additionally, measures are being rolled out to replace group face to face meetings with video and teleconferencing.
Property Sales
In line with Government guidelines, all Williams Property Auction programs have been postponed or cancelled and the scheduling of open house inspections have ceased.
For buyers and sellers alike, we are planning virtual tours and videos where possible.
We are otherwise continuing with sales inspections where possible, strictly by appointment and limiting the number of persons present at the inspection.
We are deeply mindful of the potential impact we have on our tenants and vendors who occupy property we are marketing for sale. We will also monitor Government guidelines in respect to the same, especially if tighter lockdown laws are rolled out.
Whilst COVID-19 presents an array of challenges, property is likely to be a safe haven for people to invest their money. With low interest rates now likely to remain for some time to come, it is likely that property will enjoy positive growth as our Economy recovers from the unfolding situation.
Williams Property is a trusted real estate company for over 45 years and we look forward to continuing to provide our community with valued real estate advice and assistance over the weeks and months ahead.
We are here and ready to help.
Stay safe and take care.
Cameron Williams
