Answer
We understand that REALTORS® will continue to receive requests from clients for open houses or showings. However, to protect the health and safety of our communities and to limit the spread of COVID-19, all face-to-face business including in-person showings must stop.
In addition, the Real Estate Council of Ontario strongly recommends that brokerages and salespeople follow the direction of public health officials by limiting showings to where they are absolutely necessary.
If a client has an urgent need to sell or buy a home during the COVID-19 crisis, as a trusted advisor, encourage your clients to use modern technology and facilitate remote interactions, such as virtual tours, video conference calls, and digital signing.
