Homes on the Market & COVID-19

When selling a home or looking at one to buy, we urge our clients to take caution and stop the spread of the Coronavirus in Central Oregon.  We assess the risk based on your specific location, and direct clients to local and state health authorities for specific information about the severity of the risk in your area. We could also propose alternative marketing opportunities for seller's consideration, such as video tours and other methods to virtually tour a property.  I currently already do this with many listings via social media!

If we do decide to hold an open house, we will be requiring all visitors to disinfect their hands upon entering the home, limiting the amount of people in the home and providing alcohol-based hand sanitizers at the entryway, as well as soap and disposable towels in bathrooms.  Of course, it is always encouraged to remove shows when viewing a home, but it will be required currently.  After the open house, we recommend that clients clean and disinfect their home, especially commonly touched areas like doorknobs, switches and faucet handles.
