COVID-19: Open Houses Resume

On June 10th, 2021, Alberta enters stage 2 of the Government’s Open for Summer plan and professional service providers, including real estate professionals, may resume walk-in services and open houses.

The following precautions must continue to be followed during stage 2:

• Distancing should be maintained between cohorts and REALTORS^®
• Masking and sanitizing requirements remain in effect
• Brokerages may open for walk-ins if the broker so chooses

Remember to maintain open lines of communication with your clients and discuss open house protocols in detail. Your client may continue to impose additional restrictions on showings or open houses, including limiting the number of people in the residence at one time. Only proceed with those open house protocols that have been approved by your client.

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.
