Hey Madison, it's Mark Gladue, Broker Associate with Lauer Realty Group.

Open Houses

Today, I want to talk to you a little bit about open houses and showings. Now that Dane County has lifted the mask mandate, we're starting to see more and more agents who are holding open houses. This means you can schedule your weekends around going to see open houses if you like, or you can schedule a time still to see it privately with your agent.

Whatever you do, make sure that you're doing what you feel comfortable with - whether that's going to the open house and wearing a mask, or not wearing a mask. It's up to you.

The Seller’s Decision

We are also telling people is it's also up to the seller so people who are coming into their homes need to respect the fact that if they ask or require that you wear a mask, you please do that. The same is true for private showings, so when we're scheduling showings, we're actually looking at what's called the broker-to-broker comments. This way, we're understanding where the seller's coming from.

So if they say mask required, or if they need you to wear a mask that's, what we're doing. The same thing is true for you if you're going out to see homes and you feel more comfortable wearing a mask.

Bottom Line

Please let your agent know, because it's important that we all feel comfortable now that things are starting to change. I hope that you have a great day. As always, glad you stopped by!
