We are in this together. Virtual will be our new normal, at least temporarily, and your BHS sales managers, marketing team, and executive leaders are here to guide you every step of the way. With nearly 150 years of unmatched experience behind us, Brown Harris Stevens has weathered storms before and we have come through them stronger, and with more wisdom.
While your business is important to all of us at BHS, your health and well-being are paramount. Stay positive. Take time to help your friends and neighbors. Take walks outside whenever you can. Show gratitude for doctors, nurses, and first responders who are risking their lives on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19. Above all, take care of yourself and each other.
We have a tough road ahead, but please know that all of us at BHS are working harder than ever to support you. Throughout this troubling time, we will provide you with weekly content to help you continue your business!
