The COVID-19 Pandemic is presenting challenges for almost every industry including the real estate industry. That said, I have had the opportunity to show a few homes for clients during the shutdown. Open Houses are not happening, bur showings can continue.
Here are the steps I am taking to ensure buyers and sellers remain safe during home showings.
Expanded services for both real estate buyers and sellers…
For Sellers
- I will be present for all showings (seller leaves)
- Protective gloves for buyers while viewing your property
- Limiting buyer’s to 2 people maximum while viewing your property (plus buyer’s realtor)
- Minimum 24 hours notice before a showing
- Buyers and buyer’s agent must complete a health form questionnaire prior to viewing your property (provided by me)
- I will dispose of all protective gloves at the end of the showing
- Messaging sellers when the showing is complete
- Offer “Skype Style” showing upon request
- Offer an online paperless option for contract
- As I said above, I will not be offering Open House as a marketing tool as recommended by FVREB and CREA
For Buyers
- Arrange showings where sellers are not present on the property (Social distancing)
- Provide protective gloves and sanitizer for buyers/clients
- Offer video walk-through “Skype” upon request
- Offer an online paperless option for contract
Please take good care,
