To mask or not to mask….

By Martin Cross, June 25, 2021

To mask or not to mask, that is the question. The world is beginning to feel like it may return to normal some day soon. Portlanders have been pretty good about following the mask mandate throughout the pandemic. And while most of us will still follow the rules for going into businesses or in other situations (like Real Estate showings) where they are told they must wear a mask, it seems like just prior to Memorial Day weekend, with the encouraging news releases that came out, everyone decided that all bets (masks) are off!

It’s been a bit shocking to me how quickly people just began taking their masks off and gathering en masse.  But we all get to choose our own level of safety and comfort so you do you, and I’ll do me. As a fully vaccinated human in very good health otherwise, I still feel like the prudent path is better safe than sorry, for at least a few more weeks. Last thing I want is to be the guy who gets Covid as the pandemic is winding down.

He/Him

I have lived in Portland my entire life and spent the last 20 years in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood of SE Portland. As such, I know inner SE like the back of my hand and I am very familiar with most neighborhoods in the Portland metro area. After almost 25 years filling people's homes with great design and art I shifted my love of finding great things, for great people, towards Real Estate. My eye for quality and attention to detail serves both my buyers and sellers equally. As a business owner most of my life, I understand the concepts of problem solving, coordination with others, and hard work. I always say..."Great things rarely come from a 40 hour work week." If you want a Portland native who is hard working, responsive, and compassionate - give me a call. I look forward to working with you to find that perfect home or that perfect buyer for yours whether the house be Craftsmen, Modern, brand new, or a fixer.
