Protocols for Working with Buyers

What are our protocols for in-person showings when we are the buyer agent?

We strongly discourage any in-person showings when working with buyers.  If it is deemed absolutely necessary, please consider the following:

• Confirm their financing.
• Prior to every meeting with your clients you should ask the following screening questions and get it in writing when possible:
  • Have you recently travelled out of the province/country?
  • Have you recently been in contact with someone that has travelled?
  • In the last 14 days have you experienced any of the following: fever, cough, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, sore throat?
  • Have you recently been in contact with someone who is sick with any of the above?

• Buyers agent should confirm with listing agent that the above questions have been answered by the sellers and anyone else who has shown the property.
• Inform buyers that showings will be restricted to the buyers only – no family members, friends, etc.
• Use appropriate hygiene practices when showing.  Hand sanitizer, gloves, etc.
• Practice physical distancing during showings.
• If you arrive at a showing with a double booking, wait outside until the other party has finished.
• Limit physical touching when in the home.
