As you may already  know, July 13th marks the beginning of Dane County's  Emergency Order #8, also known as the Dane County Mask Mandate, in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. 

While Terra Firma Realty had been making adjustments to our day to day business operations prior to this in response to ongoing developments in the country and state, this order now provides more details about what we’re being asked to do over the next month to do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 

As your community real estate team, we are dedicated to providing you with as much information and support as possible at all times, and right now is no different. Real estate is considered an essential business, as stated in Section 13 of Emergency Order #12, so Terra Firma Realty will continue to provide you with the same excellent real estate services as always - We are still moving forward and working hard to continue driving success for our clients. However, we will continue to respond to the necessary changes to the way we operate in order to comply with this Order and limit the spread of COVID-19.

The safety of buyers, sellers, agents and employees is always our top priority. After careful consideration among our leadership team, the Mike Coke Team's stance with respect to COVID-19 can best be summarized as respecting everyone’s individual wishes—those of our sellers, our buyers, our agents, and our employees. If a seller has reservations about showing their home, we will respect their wishes. If a buyer has reservations about viewing properties, we will respect their wishes. We appreciate that everyone’s personal situation is unique.

Below is a summary of how our operations will be changing throughout the duration of the Mask Mandate: 

• Meetings with Terra Firma Realty Team Members will be conducted by appointment only. 
• Anyone who enters our office building or who attends a showing will be asked to wear a face mask. If someone does not have a mask, please alert staff and one will be provided.  
• We will work with you to conduct listing presentations and buyer showings via digital content - pictures, videos, virtual walkthroughs, and FaceTime or Zoom tours are all options we will focus on during this time. We will work with you to get you the information you need in the safest way possible.

You can count on the Mike Coke Team team to be here for you and your family through this in any and every way we can! We are part of a thriving and supportive community, and we recognize that it is more important than ever to support local businesses at this uncertain time in which many are unable to work or operate at all due to this Pandemic r - so we are going to be stepping up to engage in community support even more.

If you have questions, concerns, feedback, or inquiries, feel free to contact us at 608-846-5253, or reach out to us via Facebook. We are proud to be a part of such a caring and supportive community, now more than ever, and we hope you and your family stay happy and healthy!
