2020 was a crazy year to say the least, but I also think it was a year of reflection. For many of us, our work lives and personal lives were turned upside down as we were forced to work and live at home more than ever, but we did find some renewed energy in the change. 
 
We slowed down the pace in 2020 and spent more time with our immediate families. Instead of filling our days with errands, birthday parties, soccer games, and more, we were forced to spend more time at home cooking, baking, gardening, or whatever other activity we could find without leaving the confines of our homes.  It was new, different, and maybe not so bad…. 
 
For real estate, it was a great year, because people needed more space, and in most cases bought larger homes to accommodate their needs. However, buying and selling a house amidst COVID-9 was a challenge for all of us.  Realtors had to pivot and fast track with more technology to offer Virtual Tours, Virtual Open Houses, and virtual closings. Buyers had to make buying decisions through these virtual tours and we saw more homes sold before the buyer actually stepped foot in a home! 
 
2020 is finally over and while most of us are happy to put 2020 behind us, it is also a time to Reflect on what we learned in 2020 then Renew and Reset to move forward in 2021. 
 
As the Broker of Energy Realty, I Reflected over the last six months over how important technology had become in everything we do, including in buying and selling real estate. As a full-service boutique brokerage, I knew it was time to Renew our offerings for clients and Reset our image, so I chose to partner with the top technology firm in the industry in 2021. 
 
I am pleased to announce that Energy Realty has a new look and a bigger technology company behind us for 2021 so that we can continue to offer the same personal, first-class service to our clients, but with some of the best technology resources in the industry. With a company like Side by our side in 2021, we plan to expand our offerings to our clients to make the real estate experience seamless and stress-free.  We are still Energy Realty and we still hire the Cream of the Crop Realtors so we hope you will join us on this new journey in 2021 to be better than ever!
