Legal Concerns for REALTORS During COVID-19
The National Association of REALTORS® has a brief update for its members as many states are opened up or opening up now during the summer. COVID-19 has caused many changes to how agents and brokers have to conduct their real estate business. There is some interesting commentary in this video about 1:45 regarding whether COVID-19 is considered a disability and can we ask questions regarding a prospect or client’s health. Hopefully both clients/prospects and agents will be considerate when it comes to disclosing if they are not feeling well or if they have symptoms that might be signs they have COVID-19. It will obviously be best then if they don’t engage for the time being.

Husband of 36 years to my college sweetheart, Janet Murphy (@janetmurphydesign on Instagram). Together we have 6 wonderful children from ages 18-34 and 6 grandchildren. My main work is helping commercial building owners and real estate investors save money on their income taxes by doing cost segregation. I work all over the U.S. but have a lot of clients here in SC and in the southeast in particular. The firm I represent is CSSI, LLC. I love the work! I’ve also been a licensed REALTOR since 2003 and broker since 2007 but my work is limited to just a few clients each year. We relocated to Greenville, SC for the lifestyle, lower cost of living, amazing amenities in the area and the growth opportunity for business and real estate. We absolutely love it here!
