Health authorities have provided important guidance to help contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, directing that people minimize opportunities for transmission of the virus through direct physical interaction.
Conventional open houses, which involve in-person viewing of the property and direct physical interaction with salespeople and other prospective buyers, are the types of activity health authorities are directing be ceased.
RECO strongly recommends that brokerages and salespeople follow the direction of health officials by declining to facilitate or participate in open houses, and by limiting showings to where they are absolutely necessary.
Please continue to closely monitor announcements from health authorities and to visit RECO’s COVID-19 Notices page for additional information published by RECO as well as answers to common questions regarding showings and open houses during this COVID situation.
