These certainly are trying times. With the continuing spread of COVID-19, many of us find our daily lives significantly interrupted.

While the coronavirus and its health risks are real, the panic, fear and anxiety that we’re experiencing may be equally as alarming. One thing remains clear, however: we, at property.ca, are certain that we will all get through this together. We love and care for our clients. Our priority remains the communities we serve, which consist of our clients, our agents, our employees and partners. We’ve been deemed an essential service, a responsibility we take seriously.

As a company rooted in its values, data, facts and big-picture insights, we want to assure you that we’re committed to providing the best client service possible in a safe and prudent manner. We monitor the situation daily and follow Health Canada’s recommendations very closely. Our technology and knowledgeable experts are our strength and we will continue to rely on them to accommodate, service and support our clients and staff in the most practical ways during this time.

I believe that we will come out of this stronger than before and look forward to continuing our journey together.

Sincerely,

Carl Langschmidt

CEO, property.ca Inc.

With the recently-announced state of emergency for Ontari o, you might be wondering where things stand with your real estate needs. Rest assured, nothing has changed. Since COVID measures were first instituted in March 2020, we’ve been taking every precaution we can to keep everyone protected, and sharing important information to help you navigate the changing market. With the decision to move back into lockdown, that commitment stands. In fact, it’s stronger than ever.

Our agents continue to do in-person showings by appointment, following all health and safety best practices. They have all been fully briefed on all necessary health measures for in-person visits. Beyond that, they will complete your entire transaction electronically, including paperwork, mortgage and legal transactions.

They aren’t displaying any COVID-19 symptoms.

They haven’t come into contact with anyone experiencing COVID symptoms, who have tested positive in a COVID test or who are waiting for the results of a test.

They haven’t recently travelled outside Canada (including the US) or been in close contact with someone who has.

They have viewed the property online first before an in-person visit.

They limit attendees to 2 people (not including the agent).

They will respect physical distancing guidelines of 2m / 6 ft.

They will wash and sanitize their hands prior to entering the home and wear masks throughout the visit.

They will space out showings and limit the number of people at each showing to one family group at a time, limited to the contract parties.

We’re all pulling together right now, facing challenges, adapting, and figuring things out as we go, and it looks like that will continue for quite some time. Reports of a vaccine are promising, but in the meantime, let’s do what we can to take care of each other. Whether it’s wearing a mask when you’re around others, helping out neighbours who are at higher risk, or doing what you can to support the amazing local businesses that make our neighbourhoods so unique, thank you for all the things you’re doing to keep our communities safe. We promise to do the same, and be here to help you whenever you need us.

We're always just a click away
