The real estate market is already starting to feel the impact of the massive layoffs at Amazon as some homeowners and buyers begin scrambling to deal with the fallout.
KIRO 7 spoke with a pair of real estate brokers whose clients were among those laid off. They are already getting calls about selling their homes or calling off their hunt for a new one.
“We’ve been fielding calls left and right since the very, very early morning,” Adriano Tori, a real estate broker in Bellevue, said.
Tori, the founder and CEO of RexMont Real Estate, has been buying and selling homes for more than 20 years. In that time, he has seen plenty of layoffs and turbulent times.
