"And while we cannot fully predict what will happen in the coming months due to a potential second wave of COVID-19, I am optimistic that OMDREB REALTORS®, and the real estate market in general, will continue to be very busy. As always, our REALTORS® will work with their clients in a safe, healthy way."
