4/11/2020: Under Colorado’s Stay At Home Order in effect until 4/26/2020 and recommendation of National & Local Real Estate Boards Real Estate is operational but NOT business as usual. Businesses in the real estate industry have adjusted business practices to minimize risk of exposure to COVID19. Following is an info graph to illustrate how technology is being used to minimize in-person contact to keep the home buying process moving forward.
Any needed in-person activity will maintain a minimum of 6′ distance, individuals will wear face masks & wash hands or use hand sanitizer before/after touching anything.
Others involved throughout the process have adjusted their protocols.
For example an inspectors current process(3/27/2020):
We continue to practice social distancing and follow a strict cleaning process for our tools/ hands before, during, and after each inspection. We are asking NO ONE (sellers, agents, buyers) attend inspections during this time. While this is not our preferred method of service, we feel it is our responsibility to do what we can to limit contact with others. We are happy to make a call/Zoom Meeting from the property at the end of the inspection to go over our findings or answer questions. We are also available once you’ve read the report to clarify anything additional.
