Face Masks Recommended During All In-Person Showing Activities
Given the recent uptick in Covid cases and the reported high transmissibility of newer variants, the GAR/GMLS Board of Directors is strongly encouraging and recommending the use of face masks for all (regardless of vaccination status) during all open houses and in-person showing activities.
All members should take into consideration their personal preferences, as well as the preferences of their clients in conducting and attending in-person showing activities. It is up to the Listing Agent and Broker, as well as Selling Agent and Broker, to communicate and enforce any precautions requested by another licensee or client.
If a mask mandate is initiated by local or state officials, the GAR/GMLS BOD will update our recommendation accordingly. For additional information on continuing to conduct in-person showing activities safely, please refer to GAR's Guidance on Resuming In-Person Open Houses. Thank you for your cooperation and your continued efforts to keep the Greenwich community safe and healthy.

CT REALTORS Care: Every Child Deserves a Place to Call Home
There's no place like HOME. Every child needs a place to call home and with your help, we have the opportunity to give them that. As CTR's 6th annual "be homeful for the holidays" campaign is winding down, please help us reach our goal by making a tax-deductible donation TODAY. All funds raised go directly towards keeping children and their families in their homes this holiday season and throughout the year. As an added bonus, for every $25 donated the CT REALTORS® Foundation will gift a Paddington bear to a child living in a CT shelter (or backpack for older children). Shelter deliveries are happening this week with 35 agencies across the State that have requested more than 1,500 bears and nearly 600 backpacks. No child should EVER spend the holidays or ANY day in a shelter. Please donate now: ctrealtors-care.org/behomeful.
CT DCP: Teams Information and Application now available
Important info if registering a Team with DCP: When registering a team, please remember this is NEW. The applicant is a TEAM and not the individual registering the Team. The Team is brand new and has NEVER done business with the State or any of its agencies. When creating a new account, select "Business" and answer "No" and then "Next". You should NOT see the screen for FEIN, or you selected "Yes". The system will then try to find an existing account, which a Team does not have. More information is available via ct.gov, and answers to the related FAQs are available within the GAR/GMLS Forum.
