UPDATED REAL ESTATE COVID GUIDANCE: FACE COVERINGS
On May 21st, Governor Inslee issued a proclamation updating the “Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery" plan and providing information regarding face coverings. In addition, the Department of Labor and Industries published guidance for employers regarding face coverings.
The following applies to real estate firms and face coverings in the office:
Consumers visiting a real estate office:
- Firms can require all consumers to wear a face-covering;
- Firms can allow consumers who are fully vaccinated to not wear a face-covering after providing proof of vaccination; or
- Firms can allow consumers who are fully vaccinated to not wear a face-covering based upon the honor system.
For brokers and employees in a real estate office:
- Firms can require all brokers/employees to wear a face-covering; or
- Firms can allow brokers/employees who are fully vaccinated to not wear a face-covering after
- (a) showing proof of vaccination; or
- (b) providing a signed document attesting to vaccination.
- The firm should maintain a log of persons who have verified that they have been vaccinated, including the method and date of verification.
The following applies to visits to a property (showings, inspections, appraisals, open houses, etc.) for brokers, clients, and industry partners (e.g. appraisers, inspectors, photographers, etc.):
- All persons must wear a face-covering unless the seller instructs otherwise (i.e. the seller explicitly allows fully vaccinated persons to not wear a face-covering on the property).
Note that, people are considered fully vaccinated:
- Two weeks after the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine; or
- Two weeks after the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
As a reminder, effective Tuesday, May 18th, every county is in Phase 3 of the “Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery" plan, where the following protocols apply:
- Capacity for real estate offices, including guests, is limited to 50% or lower. Appointments are not required for clients to visit real estate offices. Remote meetings with clients are encouraged.
- In-person brokerage activities at the property (showings, inspections, etc.) are permitted by appointment with no more than ten (10) people on-site, in addition to the broker.
- In-person open houses are permitted with no more than ten (10) people are on-site, in addition to the broker.
The following protocols continue to apply to all in-person activities (previews, showings, listing appointments, inspections, walk-throughs, appraisals, etc.):
- In-person activities must be by appointment only;
- All persons must wear a face-covering unless the seller instructs otherwise (i.e. the seller explicitly allows fully vaccinated persons to not wear a face-covering in the property); and
- Those persons must strictly follow social distancing guidelines by remaining at least six feet apart at all times.

JOIN US IN HONORING KEY CHOICE COMMERCIAL'S FOUNDER, MIKE BRADLEY
We here at CBA are saddened by the news that longtime member and Key Choice Commercial Founder Michael Bradley passed away on April 19, 2021. Mike established Bradley Commercial Real Estate in 2004 and was passionate about educating people about commercial real estate.
After selling the firm to Natalie Foskey in 2017, the team continued operating under Bradley’s name until 2020. Even though he “retired,” his license was kept current at Key Choice Commercial Real Estate. Mike was a man who loved traveling, adventure and staying up to date on all things related to commercial real estate. He was proud of his CCIM designation (Certified Commercial Investment Members) and attended classes yearly to keep current on the latest trends in commercial real estate. He was a source of education and inspiration and stayed active in the industry right up to the end.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Mike's family, friends, and coworkers.
