ABOUT THE RE/MAX INTEGRA RESOURCE HUB

As a result of the COVID19 pandemic we are in an unprecedented healthcare and economic crisis. The measures to control the pandemic and reduce the spread of the virus have put extraordinary pressure on our industry.

In order to assist our network to maintain operations as much as possible and as much as currently permitted, RE/MAX INTEGRA has gathered resources in a resource hub (Resource Hub) for your convenience and reference. The materials in the Resource Hub are made available for you to consider using in your brokerage operations. The materials that are included in the Resource Hub are not mandatory, and whether you use them is your decision. RE/MAX has not vetted these materials and cannot guarantee that they are appropriate or that they conform to the applicable legal requirements in your municipality or state. It is your responsibility as a Broker/Owner to ensure that the materials and procedures that you put in place are reasonable, appropriate, and conform to the applicable laws, regulations, and public health guidance.

You should pay particular attention to any of the materials in the Resource Hub that apply to in-person meetings or home showings as these activities have the greatest likelihood of contributing to the spread of the COVID19 virus. We strongly recommend that you check in frequently with your local public health officials as guidance on in-person contact has changed frequently and it may vary based on where you or the home being sold is located. As a reminder, all open houses, door knocking, card and pamphlet drops, and face-to-face meetings must cease until further notice.

You should also be monitoring the news and other sources of official updates for instructions from local and provincial governments in the event that in-person meetings of any kind are prohibited by law including as a result of an order made pursuant to a state of emergency.

The materials in the Resource Hub are provided for the use of RE/MAX Broker/Owners and Agents only and are not to be shared with anyone outside of the RE/MAX System.
