We are commited to making sure that our agents, clients, and other contractors are fully informed and in compliance with Washington State’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order and COVID-19 (coronavirus) safety protocols for real estate services. Castle Realty will be providing a memorandum to all parties that we work with, along with relevant information for the Washington State Governor’s Office, and the Northwest MLS.
We recognize that homeowners may be in need of services and repairs to their homes. These may be general repairs or part of an ongoing transaction. There are many reasons for such repairs, including safety issues, code and lender requirements, and other emergencies. Castle Realty maintains an extensive referral list of licensed contractors, but we cannot always know which services are considered “essential,” as the list of essential services tends to change day-to-day. Until this crisis is over, we are asking each homeowner to determine what they will allow in their home, and what is allowed under the state order. Homeowners must be fully responsible for ordering these services. Further, we expect each contractor or service person to be aware of whether or not their services are considered “essential” and of their industry protocols for working on or in a home or property.
Likewise, we are asking our Buyers to make sure they are prepared to observe all safety protocols. We further ask that only qualified and serious buyers make appointments to view homes, preferably after doing a drive-by, and after reviewing all relevant photos and other information. Requests for video footage in lieu of a showing will be honored whenever possible.
We encourage all of our clients, and service contractors to use good common sense, and honor the SPIRIT of this law to help stem the tide of the spread of this virus.
Thank you for being mindful, and doing your part.
