SELLERS COVID- 19 procedure
We developed a Sellers COVID-19 procedure to follow as we want everyone to be safe because we understand the importance of Selling your home. Real Estate services are essential non-health services. Now our showing procedure adheres to the BC Centre for Disease Control’s prevention and physical distancing guidelines. Adding another layer with questioning we have an aggressive qualification process. Our goal is that all showings are warranted & productive with a possible positive result. Sellers have the right to refuse an appointment, at anytime.
Before we will show your home the Buyer’s Realtor needs to answer the following questions, agree to our showing terms and fill out the Sutton Waivers.
QUESTIONS:
- Has the Buyer researched the location, and driven by it, to ensure that the most basic criteria are being met?
- Did the listing, and additional information such as the photos, floor plan, virtual tour, website write up, & information package meet their criteria?
- Does the Buyer have any questions that we can answer before the showing to ensure that his home is meeting their criteria?
- Is the Buyer’s financing in place?
SHOWING PROCEDURE TERMS:
- Health Inquiry, the Sutton self assessment waiver and Buyer waiver will need to be filled out. Anyone who appears to be sick, even if it is allergies, will not be permitted into the home.
- All decision makers need to be present at the showing, and no others will be permitted into our Seller’s home. Children should not attend the showing as they will not be permitted in the home.
- Everyone must remove their shoes outside of the home.
- As we show the home everyone must practice social distancing.
- No one will be permitted to wander in the home and all must stay with us.
- There will be no touching or sitting on anything. Your bathroom will not be used.
- We open all closets, doors and are the only ones permitted to touch anything in your home.
- Your home will be wiped down after the showing is complete.
