Safer At Home Order - April 24, 2020
|
|
Dear PPAR Members,
The lessons we have learned from the last 4 weeks is to get our Government officials on the same page and getting
specific guidelines
in writing
.
Even though
Gov. Polis announced the Stay at Home orders will be lifted on April 27, PPAR and CAR want to provide you with
specific guidelines
in order to help you navigate the next phase and future phases.
The request, submitted to
Gov. Polis, the Attorney General’s office, DORA, and the Division of Real Estate
, recommended real estate Business Services, at a minimum, include the following activities:
|
|
- Scheduled listing appointments with prospective buyers, sellers, landlords or tenants where virtual meetings are not feasible.
- Placement of lockboxes and signage on property.
- Furniture staging and real estate still and virtual photography by licensees or professional photographers.
- Private, scheduled showings with no more than 3 people present in-home at any one time.
We will tirelessly continue to advocate on your behalf.
NAR, CAR, and PPAR continuously update their COVID-19 webpages with new information.

Scott Peterson, CAR General Counsel, explains in greater detail what Safer at Home means to you and how it could impact real estate.
It is important to self-police and protect the real estate industry and your clients during this time. The guidelines for real estate in the Safer at Home order
can be revoked and real estate shut down
if it’s perceived that brokers are acting irresponsibly.
|
|
|
The Real Estate Commission is actively investigating complaints filed for breaking the rules of the Executive and Public Health Orders. The Attorney General’s Office has already fined several brokers $1,000 for breaking the Stay at Home order.
|
|
|
The main goal is still to stop the
spread of the virus.
|
|
REALTORS® have a special responsibility to take ALL necessary health and safety precautions, including those ordered by your state or locality,
whichever are stricter
.
If clients are considered high risk, then encourage them to not risk exposure unnecessarily.
We strongly encourage you to use virtual showings and limit in-person activity.
Assume that everyone has the virus and is not following the rules.
PPAR and RSC staff will continue to help you by answering your calls and emails. We will continue to offer online education courses, programs, seminars, committee meetings, SentriLock support and the many other services we have always done to support you.

The way we do business is rapidly changing.
