In-Person Showing Regulations for Denver, Boulder, Broomfield and Jefferson Counties - Mountain Metro Association of REALTORS - April 30, 2020

The current regulations on real estate showings have been changing on a weekly basis and are subject to county regulations and city ordinances at this time. In-person real estate showings are permitted in several counties. Here are the breakdowns by county:

Jefferson and Boulder Counties:
- For unoccupied (vacant) homes and land only
- By appointment only (no open houses)
- Face coverings required for all participants
- Number of in-person participants limited to the greatest extent possible and participation by children is strongly discouraged
- Social Distancing Requirements must be met at all times by the clients and the Realtors
- Individuals shall maintain at least a six-foot distance from other individuals, wash hands with soap and water for at least twenty seconds as frequently as possible or using hand sanitizer, cover coughs or sneezes (into the sleeve or elbow, not hands), regularly clean high-touch surfaces, and not shake hands.
- Realtors must maintain a detailed log of customer interactions in case contact tracing becomes necessary. This log should include name, date, and location of contact, as well as the contact’s phone number and/or email address.
- Realtors must ensure or provide gloves and face coverings for any customer interactions
- Realtors should perform tasks remotely or virtually whenever possible, including pre- and post- visit conferences.
- Open houses are not permitted

Denver City and County:
- Open houses are not permitted
- Properties must be vacant, with no one living there, unless the only occupant in the home is the owner and not a rental tenant
- Social distancing requirements must be followed at all times
- All commonly-used surfaces must be wiped down and sanitized before and after the showings

Broomfield County:
- No in-person showings are allowed through May 8th
- In person-showings will be allowed beginning on May 9th (likely, with specific regulations that have not yet been posted)

Other Counties:
At this time, most counties in the Denver Metro area have extended their stay at home orders through May 8th, and have not stated whether in-person showings are now permissible. The regulations are changing constantly, so please contact me directly to get the latest information for your county.

In addition, specific HOA Communities, especially those with high risk populations, may have additional provisions which can exclude in-person showings in an effort to keep residents of these communities safe.
