MLSShowings and Open Houses - WRA Legal UpdateOpen House Best Practices During COVID-19
The WRA legal team has fielded a series of questions relating to in-person open houses. Please note the WRA continues to recommend sellers and their agents avoid having in-person open houses even after Wisconsin's "Safer at Home" order has been lifted and communities begin to relax restrictions. Instead, the WRA encourages agents to show properties virtually to buyers or offer individual showings to interested buyers. However, if sellers, real estate firms and agents are willing to have in-person open houses after checking for any applicable local safer-at-home orders, the WRA has created a new document titled "COVID-19 Best Practices for In-person Open Houses." View the best practice document by clicking HERE. Note that the information in the document may change due to the ever-evolving circumstances during the pandemic.
Latest WRA COVID-19 Resources In response to the evolving circumstances surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, the WRA created the www.wra.org/coronavirus resource webpage to provide you information and new developments about the pandemic and its effect on real estate.
