COVID-19: Open for Summer in Real Estate

Posted on June 21, 2021 by AREA Communications in News

On July 1 Alberta enters stage 3 of the Government’s Open for Summer plan and provincial restrictions on indoor activities will be lifted.

Keep in mind the following:

  • Mask mandates are instituted as municipal bylaws, and therefore may not be lifted on the same dates. Please research local mask bylaws where you operate.
  • Client may continue to impose additional restrictions on showings or open houses, including limiting the number of people in the residence at one time or using COVID-19 pre-screening questionnaires. Only proceed with protocols that have been approved by your client and continue to do your due diligence in checking private remarks, or ShowingTime instructions of listings when booking showings to avoid conflicts.
  • Seek advice from your broker to determine the brokerage policy around the continued usage of Hold Harmless Agreements as they continue to offer protection from liability for members and their brokerages. 

If your client would like to proceed with open houses but you, as a REALTOR®, are not comfortable hosting them, consider soliciting assistance from a peer in your brokerage who is comfortable with offering this service.

For detailed safety protocol information, as well as the details on Government’s re-launch approach, please visit the Open for Summer plan page.

Please direct any questions to communications@albertarealtor.ca.

Our membership work and live in Alberta, which we acknowledge as the traditional and ancestral lands of many peoples presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8 – namely the Blackfoot Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika), the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda and the Tsuu T’ina Nation, and the Métis People of Alberta. We recognize the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today, and those who have gone before. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those on whose territory we reside.
