The VBR office will be closed this week on Wednesday and Thursday to prepare for the upcoming remodel. We will check emails and voicemails throughout the day. Starting on Monday, October 26, we will all transition to working remotely. The best way to get in touch with the VBR team is by phone or email. We will use the Realtor® Hub Locker system for members needing to pick up lockboxes, power paddles, and Welcome Home bags during the project. We anticipate our office to be open starting in early January and are looking forward to the updated space.
Registration is now open for the VBR’s Installation Celebration. The VBR’s outcoming and incoming Boards will be getting together for this event in person, and we invite all members to tune in live on Zoom on November 4 at 5:00 pm. We will celebrate the 2020 Board of Directors, install our new Directors, and announce the Realtor and Affiliate of the Year! We will also randomly select Zoom attendees and give away prizes. This year has been very unusual, and we look forward to celebrating together.
Have a great week.

VBR's "Safe Showing Pledge" provides additional clarity on industry and business-specific safety measures, and to share all the extra precautions taken for showing properties by following the “safer at home” guidelines.

The Division of Real Estate continues to receive complaints concerning real estate brokers not following state and county-issued guidance regarding COVID-19 restrictions when performing real estate activities. Please be aware that many Orders are still in effect and you should be vigilant to stay in compliance of those Orders for the safety of yourself and others.
Open houses currently are allowed in Colorado.
Please review the order below, specifically Appendix B & D. In-person real estate showings and marketing services must adhere to Social Distancing Requirements with cleaning and disinfection between each showing. Open houses must follow the Indoor Event requirements in Section I.H.4 of this Order (page 6-7).
