At Apex Custom Homes Ltd., we not only build homes - we also live and work in these same communities. We are committed to protecting the health, safety and well-being of all our community members.

With vaccine numbers rising and infection rates continuing to fall, BC is on track to move to step 2 of BC's Restart Plan as of June 15 and all of us are eager for further easing of COVID-19 restrictions.  However, REALTORS® and consumers will have to be patient a little longer when it comes to changes to safety guidelines for the real estate sector.  

According to the Restart Plan, consultation for the next step on easing restrictions within different sectors will only begin on June 15. That means new guidelines for Realtors won't be available for a few more weeks yet.

No Open Houses Yet, While the CREA is once again allowing open house notifications on REALTOR.ca, the message from the Provincial Health Officer and WorkSafeBC is clear: continue following all current safety protocols and guidelines until new guidelines are issued.  That means it's not yet time to return to hosting open houses.  We ask all BC Realtors to continue to respect this safety protocol, as well as remain mindful of physical distancing, sanitizing procedures andthe continued use of maks and virtual technologies in real esate transactions.  

BC is very close to returning to a more normal way of life where COVID-19 is not the same threat that is has been.  We can accelerate this return by being patient just a little while longer, and understanding that these important consultations among BCREA, WorkSafeBC, RECBC and OSRE will take place soon and new guidelines will be made available as soon as possible. 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking  several precautionary measures to ensure our sales centers and show homes are safe for you to visit:  

• Showing by private appointment only to one household at a time.
• Sanitizing all hard surfaces in between viewings.
• Masks are mandatory for entry into sales centers, show homes, and offices.
• Provision of hand sanitizer and/or washing stations.
• Frequency of regularly scheduled cleanings has increased.

As health guidelines are continuously evolving, we are monitoring the situation closely and will update our protocols as information becomes available.  We wish your family good health, and we appreciate your understanding and support in keeping our communities safe during these exceptional times.  

Sincerely,

The Apex Custom Homes Team
