Great News Long Island just entered phase 2 of the real estate reopening what does
that mean for you the buyer or seller
yep great news like I said in the intro phase 2 of the Long Island real-estate
reopening is in effect right now so what does that mean for you the buyer or the
seller it means that we the Realtors are allowed to do open houses we're allowed
to have face-to-face meetings with buyers and do private showings of your
property but we need to follow strict CDC guidelines as outlined by nicer
which is the New York State Association of Realtors some of those guidelines I'm
going to share with you and I'm also going to put a link to the guidelines so
you can see exactly what they are number one the house must be vacant if we're
doing an open house it needs to be totally empty I don't mean the furniture
needs to be gone which would be good if it you've already moved however the
house needs to be vacated by the owner and all the people living in there
during the showing whether it be an open house or we're doing a private showing
for a potential buyer number two everybody entering the house needs to
have proper PPE whether that be a mask like this or some sort of face covering
and if the homeowner requests and end or the broker proper gloves on the hands
and also booties on the feet so we can show the property it needs to be vacant
we have to limit the amount of people into your property standard out if
there's people coming for an open house and we have large numbers outside they
have to be spread out naturally for social distancing and after the open
house is over naturally they have to disinfect everything that has been
touched so a tip for the homeowner is to make sure you open up all your doors all
your cabinets so things don't have to be touched
naturally buyers should not be touching anything except when necessary like
railings on staircases and doorknobs if they weren't open and the realtor will
disinfect everything after they leave and also I would suggest that the
homeowner go out and disinfect things better safe
than sorry so basically as phase two is open we are now starting to show
properties it suggested that most of the showings be done online safety is the
most important thing virtual showings are the safest way to show a property so
I encourage all homeowners to make sure that their Realtors show the property
virtually as often as possible if people still like the property then we can
invite them for a private showing following the CDC guidelines that I just
outlined I hope you enjoyed the video definitely give me one of these if you
