I think I saw something that said the office would be open from 10am-2pm. But we don't have walk-in business in any event, as most of us are in office parks here. It's more for the convenience of agents.

Good morning Larry. Our office is officially closed, but I have two mortgage applications to do and so does a couple of the other loan officers. That means the office will be open all day.

Since we are in Canada, the brokerage office is open both on American Thanksgiving and Black Friday.  However, the office is closed on Canadian Thanksgiving which is a statutory holiday and is on the second Monday in October each year.

I think the staff is off on Friday and likely will leave early on Wednesday. I'm open for business.  It's probably best to stay out of the office kitchen.

If I said yes would you come to visit? I don't know what the office is doing but I am not going in and told my admin to take the day off too. 

Having said all that - of course I will be answering calls and texts - I am out of town but will probably call my clients to wish them a happy weekend.

Larry,
It is one more advantage of working from home. Not having to keep an office open for walk ins.
