COVID-19: Tips for Alberta’s REALTORS®

Posted on March 31, 2020 by AREA Communications in News

REALTORS® are considered essential service providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This does not mean that real estate continues as normal. For those consumers who move ahead with buying or selling properties, there are specific steps REALTORS® and consumers can take to protect their health and the health of the greater community.

The Alberta Real Estate Association has reinstated the ban on in-person open houses for REALTORS® as professional service providers. The Alberta government mandated that professional services businesses, such as lawyers and accountants, be able to work by appointment only. Showings can continue with appointment only and limited to two family-unit members at a time.
