Here is a response to covid-19 from Caton Commercial’s Chief Operations Officer:
Dear valued clients & colleagues,
As we face unprecedented times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are moving forward with the recommended safety measures in which to conduct our day to day business in the coming weeks. As of 3/16/20, all Caton Commercial Real Estate team members will be observing work from home protocols. Our phones are being forwarded to our team receptionist and all calls are being handled live. We are, as always, available via email and your brokers are available via their cell phones. Our business practices are well suited to remote working conditions, so we want to assure you that your business interests are being attended to and we are conducting business as usual to the extent we are able.
The safety of our team, clients and the general public is paramount, so we are recommending observance of all social distancing measures put forth by the government and world health organizations of no physical contact (so no handshaking or even fist bumping), six feet or more distance between you and the person/people you are meeting with, frequent and proper washing of hands and use of hand sanitizer, and to not engage in in-person meetings if you are exhibiting any signs of illness. Our brokers will be using their best judgment when it comes to in-person meetings and showings. Despite these altered conditions, we are actively working to move your business transactions forward and to provide you with the resources you need to respond to these new conditions appropriately.
We are, as always, your trusted advisors, and we are here to assist you in navigating this new business climate. Please find the following resource links for your convenience:
