Minimum Standards Going Out to Agents (COVID-19)
April 7, 2020
Good Evening Brokers,
As a reminder, we can continue providing services to our clients, but
it is not business as usual
. The Association is working to preserve the ability of our industry to continue working, and
we need your help
.
BAR is fielding a good number of
questions around the topic of best practices and standards
for operating during the Coronavirus crisis. We are monitoring and compiling declarations, orders, and guidelines from local, state, and national governments. Communications with officials and decision-makers concerning the impact on the real estate industry, continue daily.
All efforts are intending to keep the industry working.
In line with this goal and response to government actions, BAR has published the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Minimum Standards for the Real Estate Professional. It addresses the "Why?" for the standards, "How?" they were developed, and provides an outline for agents to follow.
Please review the document
HERE
. It will be sent to all agents on Wednesday, April 8th.
BAR and the industry are relying on our brokers
to help protect the ability to work during this challenging time. Please encourage your agents to follow the standards outlined for protecting the industry and the community. Adherence shows our governments that we take this opportunity seriously and deserve to continue to work.
