Please work with your Business Support Specialists and your Agents to see that the following wording is included in your listings. This wording should be placed in internal remarks and in Showing Time:
COVID-19: Due to nationwide concerns about COVID-19 and as a courtesy to home sellers, please do not schedule showings if the buyer's agent or buyers exhibits cold/flu-like symptoms or meets any of the criteria for self-quarantine mandated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. You are also agreeing that the buyer has presented you with a written pre-approval letter. By proceeding with scheduling a showing, you are acknowledging this requirement and agreeing you are not aware of any issues of this nature.
Times have changed, but there is no need to let up on the gas. Each week, we'll share some simple yet effective tasks to help you keep your business going strong.
This crisis will end, and you will be ready to launch when it does!
On April 3, the Governor's office in Maine issued New Guidelines For Real Estate As An Essential Business which is linked here.
Although it only affects real estate practice in the State of Maine, it should be of interest to everyone in our company. The document establishes virtual showings & electronic purchase & sales agreements as the new standard of practice for real estate agents in Maine.
It is likely that many new practices will remain after this historic pandemic fades. I suggest everyone review the document to either guide them (as in ME) or to help calibrate their practices elsewhere.
Please check with your Sales Director, Ed or Angelia with any questions.
NOTE: The much stricter prohibition in the City of Portland is still in effect.
In the directive the Governor's office warns: Please note that these guidelines must be carefully followed in order for real estate activities to maintain their "essential" designation.
