Pennsylvania Real Estate Reopening
We were pleased to hear Gov. Tom Wolf gave the green light to real estate businesses statewide to resume operations during the coronavirus pandemic, as long as new guidance issued by his office is followed:
This is good timing for those who are buying or selling residential, commercial or industrial properties.
Highlights of the New Guidance for the Real Estate Industry:
- Must follow all applicable provisions of the Guidance for Businesses Permitted of Operate During the COVID-19 Disaster Emergency.
- People at sale properties, offices or business locations must wear masks and use separate vehicles to drive to visit properties.
- All in-person activities should be scheduled and limited to no more than the real estate professional and two people inside a property at any time, exercising appropriate social distancing.
- Must not provide food or conduct in-person group showings including open houses, broker opens or office tours.
- Must maintain records of all appointments, including contact information for all participants.
