Denver7 News: ‘Back to Normal Slowly’: Colorado REALTORS® Begin In-Home Showings Amid COVID-19 Pandemic
Denver7 News spoke with two Colorado REALTORS® on their experiences with the residential real estate market as individual counties slowly begin to open up amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“We were dead in the water for about three weeks,” said REALTOR® Amy Salley, the lead buyer’s agent with The Prevail Group at HomeSmart Cherry Creek. “But as soon as Douglas County opened up, we’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve gotten pretty busy.”
“I felt a little bit of relief,” said Salley after selling a townhome on the first day showings were allowed. “We have all this business that is just sitting there and there is nothing we can do about it.”
“It’s quite confusing because, you know, most people don’t work just in one county,” said Boulder-area REALTOR® Kelly Moye of the varying county guidelines.
“Realtors are calling each other, texting and trying to figure out who can show and who can’t show,” said Moye. “And we’re all just a little confused trying to follow the rules, but we don’t know what all the rules are.”
