All members within the BC Northern Real Estate Board are being asked to suspend all Open Houses due to concerns over the spread and exposure of COVID-19.
“The Board supports the health authorities’ call for social distancing and other measures aimed at protecting communities during the COVID-19 pandemic”, notes President Leah Mayer in a news release.
“I know that our members have already made changes in their practice to protect their clients and others.”
“Most members stopped holding Open Houses before our recommendation and are actively ensuring additional protective measures during showings. Many members are expanding virtual tours or presentations. If you are a buyer or seller, please speak to your REALTOR® about COVID-19 preparedness.”
Buyers and sellers are reminded that they should not view or show properties if they, or anyone they live with, are unwell or have recently travelled out of the country.
