âIt got to a point where I feared going to work and getting exposed,â Burch said.
But she also was looking for something with more flexibility, especially since she had two kids at home for remote learning through parts of the pandemic.

Because of COVID-19, real estate agents are using more tech tools in the last seven months than in the last seven years, said Michael Minard, CEO and owner of Delta Media.
