As of March 28, the California Association of Realtors announced that residential and commercial real estate is officially deemed an essential service, according to Krcr news on Driday.
Chad Phillips, owner of Vista Real Estate, says that business has been fairly steady, but the process on how they show their homes has changed.
Phillips tells KRCR that he and other realtors have been using FaceTime, Zoom and other platforms to virtually show homes to respect the social distancing measures. But when it comes to most people buying $300K, $400K or even $500K dollar homes, it’s typical that they would like to view it in person, said Chad.
And thanks to the California and Nation Association of Realtors, people now have the ability to do an in-person viewing by signing a form explaining to the home viewers the current health climate.
Chad says that although his real estate team is now able to conduct in-person viewing, they’re still taking the necessary precautions.
