Question – Can I show potential buyers homes they may be interested in buying? I’m afraid to turn them away and lose their business. Are other agents showing properties? Are escrows opening? I also don’t know if I’d be covered by E and O if I showed them a house and they got sick Would I lose my license?
Answer – CAR (California Association of REALTORS®) and every real estate company and professional agree…No, do not show the home…remain in your house. COVID-19 cases are doubling daily.
- E and O covers disclosure and transactional issues, NOT personal injury.
- Showing a property is a violation of the Governor’s order.
- The only escrows that have been opened lately have been on properties that buyers saw before this pandemic spread.
- I’m not aware of any other agents from any companies showing property.
- This professional does not know if an agent’s license would be revoked if one were to show a property.
- We can all go back to showing properties once restrictions and orders are lifted.
Question – Can disclosure statements be used now to show, inspect and/or appraise properties?
Answer – NO! No one is permitted to show, inspect and/or appraise properties until restrictive orders are lifted!
- There is no insurance coverage if someone becomes sick.
- There may even be some criminal exposure to you if someone gets sick or dies.
- Talk with a criminal attorney.
- WORK REMOTELY. WORK ELECTRONICALLY. EVERYTHING DONE AT HOME IS PERMITTED.
