FAQs
How are Property Showings done during SIP?
Virtual showings are highly encouraged if possible. If not, viewings of properties are still allowed under the SIP order.
– No more than 2 buyers from the same household can attend the showing with one Realtor practicing social distancing. If the property is occupied, occupants must not be present.
– Masks and other protective equipment are recommended.
In order to confirm a showing, Realtors are required to have the Coronavirus Property Entry Advisory and Declaration (PEAD form) signed for each showing of each house. Sellers sign to confirm and accept the showing. In addition, it has become common for Sellers and their Realtors to request buyer pre-approvals and proof of funds as part of the request for showings. This is to limit the number of showings, thus keeping all parties safe! Feel free to contact me for details.
