A Sign of the Times--California Property Pictogram and Showing Rules


a
How to Visit the Property

Are you wondering about what it takes to see property now, if you're a buyer, or marketing your property if you're a seller?

On May 8, the California Department of the Public Health issued its “Industry Guidance: Real Estate Transactions,” which requires agents to post rules on the property – with pictograms -- that must be agreed to as a condition of entry by all people viewing the property. 
  • Wear a protective mask
  • Wash your hands with soap and water, or hand sanitizer
  • Wear gloves
  • Practice social distance, 6 feet apart
  • Do not touch surfaces, including knobs, faucets, countertops, light switches, etc.
  • Discard disposable gloves, asks, or shoe coverings
This or a similar rules form must be posted at the entrance to the property being shown, as well as a form signed by showing agent and the buyer, will keep property showings in compliance with the current health standards. 

It's part of the "new normal" in the industry.  Visitors to the property are required to bring mask, gloves, and engage in social distancing per these rules.  Sellers will need to keep some hand sanitizer handy.  It's really not too much work, and actually keeps things clean!

If you'd like to know more about preparing your property for the current market, or know your home's value, I'm very easy to reach!
