The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) has relayed the news from the Minister of Housing, the Hon. Dr Megan Woods, that private viewings, by appointment, of homes for sale or rental properties can take place under Alert Level 3.

While final details around H&S protocols are yet to be distributed I expect that those clarifications will be released by end of weekend ideally.

It remains a priority for myself and the team at Harcourts that the good work everyone has put in over the last month not go wasted. So whatever the guidelines ultimately are rest assured we will be sticking to them like glue.
