Revised Real Estate: COVID-19 Restrictions & Updates Surrounding Real Estate Business

On Sunday, Nov. 15th, Governor Inslee announced new COVID-19 restrictions that would take effect on Monday, Nov. 16th, 2020 until Monday, Dec. 14th, 2020. A number of these restrictions will affect how real estate agents and businesses will operate for the next month. With these stipulations now in place statewide, real estate is undergoing another pivot. However, as your trusted advisors, we want you to know that we can still assist you with your goals.

We’ve outlined a few key changes that are currently in effect from now, until December 14th, 2020:

  • Open houses are not permitted during this time period.

  • In-person meetings are by appointment only.

  • Face masks will be required when meeting in-person.

  • Social distancing (6-feet apart) must be adhered to at all times.

  • Real estate offices are closed to the general public (unless an appointment is made with your broker in advance, guidelines above will need to be followed.)
