Covid-19 and Protecting Your Property

Coronavirus (COVID-19) and how we are protecting your property

As you are no doubt aware, all Australians are currently facing the recent challenge presented by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Those of us in the real estate industry know that it is times like these that we must come together and help each other adapt to changing circumstances.

While we do not yet have all the answers, it is important to understand how these changes might affect you and your property. Here at Century 21 we have already begun implementing cautionary procedures to ensure the safety of not only our staff, but that of our vendors and buyer community.

Please rest assured that it is business as usual and we will dedicate the same level of care, expertise and professionalism that you have come to know. However, please appreciate that certain interim alterations may need to be made to accommodate the well-being of all. These may include:

  • Reduced face-to-face interaction
    In addition to phone calls, Century 21 is well equipped technologically to service you and your property through video conferencing, industry apps and related online initiatives.
  • Stringent vetting of prospective buyers and distancing measures
    We may refuse entry to anyone who has recently returned from overseas or interstate travel within 14 days, or who may be displaying flu-like symptoms common to that of Coronavirus (COVID-19). We will not be conducting open homes, but where possible limiting inspections to virtual/digital formats in the first instance, and then individual inspections while maintaining safe social distances. We may also ask that a declaration be signed by buyers confirming that they are well and have not recently travelled before agreeing to meet them in person.

We are facing unprecedented times and our priority is to keep our staff safe and healthy, and our clients up-to-date on property matters and ensure your goals are achieved. Our team is across all the required health practices and will always act in the best interests of your property.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at any time.
