Central Oregon Weekend Planner – Apr. 3-5, 2020.

Here is our Central Oregon weekend planner, created each week to showcase events throughout Central Oregon!

The On-going Impact of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The impact of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to be felt throughout central Oregon. As of last week, all of Oregon is now operating under a “Stay Home, Save Lives” directive. Because of this, non-essential activities been postponed or canceled and gathering places have been closed. However, our Portland HQ has created an alternative/additional Weekend Planner with an eye towards activities that can be done at home or online.

NOTE: As of this writing, real estate is still considered an “essential service” and open houses have not been prohibited outright. Instead, they have been left to the discretion of the individual homeowners and their listing brokers. If you choose to visit open houses, please take the appropriate precautions. Alternately, if you have a smartphone or tablet, you can schedule a virtual walkthrough with your broker.

Although our physical offices are closed indefinitely, most of our brokers are available via phone/email/appointment and are ready and willing to assist you with your real estate needs.
