Also, when all parties are fully vaccinated licensees are not required to clean/disinfect the property after a showing. Guidelines for licensees that are not fully vaccinated or for licensees showing unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated customers/clients property can be found below.

The CDC guidance further states that "You can resume activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance." The emphasized section of the guidance permits federal, state and local governments to impose stricter standards on businesses and workplace as well as permitting businesses and workplaces to require masks of all individuals regardless of vaccination status. This would also permit sellers, landlords etc. to require vaccinations of licensees and their clients/customers entering the property for the purpose of a showing or open house. If proof of vaccination is not provided, the sellers, landlords etc. could deny entry to those individuals. It is up to the individual or business owner as to whether to require masks indoors.

Guidance for Individuals Performing Real Estate Activity that are Unvaccinated or not Fully Vaccinated

If you are fully vaccinated and refuse to show proof of vaccination, you will be considered to be unvaccinated. Unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated individuals, under both CDC and state guidance must wear masks in all public settings and try to maintain social distancing. You still need to wash your hands regularly. You still need to clean/disinfect high touch surfaces at all showings if the licensee or any client/customer is not fully vaccinated or unvaccinated.
