Home Inspection Protocols During COVID-19

BCREA is diligently working to keep BC’s REALTORS^® informed of the evolving real estate landscape during the COVID-19 pandemic. Preparing your clients for a real estate transaction during a pandemic means being able to explain to them not only how you’ve adapted your business and protocols to reflect the current conditions, but also how related service providers have adapted theirs. 

Recently, the Home Inspectors Association of BC (HIABC) updated its protocols for its members, designed to reduce the risk of HIABC home inspectors bringing COVID-19 into homes or carrying it from one inspection to another. We encourage all Realtors to familiarize themselves with these updated home inspection protocols and to review them with buyers and sellers in advance of entering into a real estate transaction.

There continue to be many uncertainties as the COVID-19 situation develops, and we are here to help you navigate them. If you have questions, please reach out to BCREA or your local real estate board.
