HEALTH AND SAFETY

The health and safety of all concerned – clients, members of the public, and real estate professionals – is the top priority. 

Realtors are required to obey public health orders to reduce the spread of the virus and we are doing everything we can to help. We must all do our part in protecting each other by social distancing and adapting the real estate business at the same time to keep everyone safe. 

SELLING YOUR HOME DURING COVID-19

Selling real estate is still possible, but looks very different now. 

Properties are still selling amidst these circumstances and if you wish to sell your home, we have new systems to keep you safe. We are committed to selling your home for market value while minimizing risks. 

We take all necessary precautions and keep up to date with preventative measures to reduce the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19.

PRE-QUALIFYING BUYERS

The main goal is the safety of everyone involved. Our professional marketing materials are the primary showing. Home buyers must carefully review the photography, floor plan, videos and location to determine if the home meets their unique requirements.

We consider this a mandatory request as we do not want anyone entering your home without knowing the ins and outs of the layout, view, finishing, exposure and everything else. This ensures that buyers are truly interested in seeing your home before in-person showings are approved. They have all the information and have shown positive buying signs already.

We also ask a series of qualifying questions to the buyers Real Estate representative. This confirms their financing, if they need to sell a home prior to buying yours and other important factors. This ensures the most qualified buyers are entering your home during this time.

SHOWING REQUIREMENTS

We follow strict guidelines for approved physical showings of your home. All parties involved must understand these requirements to maintain the safety of everyone.

• Mandatory masks for anyone entering your home
• No touching during showings of cabinets, lights, fans, etc…
  • We ask that home owners have all lights on and blinds open in order to show the home in the best possible fashion
• Signed waivers by the potential home buyer(s) prior to viewing. This ensures the buyer(s) have not traveled recently, have not been potentially exposed and are showing signs of symptoms
• Limited number of persons entering the home (depending on size of the property)
