Yes, your Realtor should be more helpful than that. My best advice is to stay calm. You are making the correct decisions so far. It is difficult, but you are managing it very well.

Sometimes life will throw challenges toward you, and all you can do is make the right choices, one at a time. Sounds like you are making the right choices to get back on your feet. I'm sure you will be there in no time.

Are you taking the right steps to stay healthy? Wearing a mask, avoiding large gatherings, and social distancing?

Good point. Since you hired them, you can establish expectations with them that they take the right precautions to keep you and your home healthy.

Does CSR stand for Customer Service Representative?
assistant
Question
yes sorry it does I also have some banking under my belt but have been out of work for couple years because I was caring for my father he needed 24/7 my moms not as bad but needs help
user

Well, CSR and experience in Banking must mean you have some skills that are in high-demand. Many companies need CSR's, and Banks are always hiring. Skills needed for CSR are very translatable to other customer service jobs, sales, and more!

also, many companies have shifted their workforce to work from home, so you are even more likely to get a service position in a work-from-home environment,

I see, so it sounds like you need a job search tool that will save you time. I'd recommend putting your profile on LinkedIn, and/or checking a job aggregator like Indeed or Glassdoor. There, you can view and apply for several jobs. I recommend applying and interviewing for several positions at the same time to improve your odds. I'm sure you will get one.
