Key takeaways from Scott Peterson, General Counsel of the Colorado Association of Realtors (CAR). 


– The current stay at home order expires Sunday, April 26.  The Safer at Home order takes effect takes effect on Monday, April 27.  

CAR will provide the Governor’s office with the following requests: 

1. To allow for scheduled listing appointments, in-person with prospective buyers, sellers, tenants. Preliminary meetings via internet video is encouraged.


2. The ability to place lock-boxes and real estate signage. 


3. Virtual and still photography.


4. Showings scheduled and private, with no more than three people allowed inside a residence at any one time. 


All of the above activities will be done if people are strictly adhering to social distancing guidelines. CAR strongly encourages the real estate community to not treat this as business as usual.  The stricter guidelines came as a result of real estate agents pushing the rules. It can be tightened back down again if Realtors don’t adhere to the guidelines.
