Real Estate is an Essential Service
Coronavirus (COVID19) Office Update
Greetings Tierra Antigua Family! 
Today Governor Doug Ducey provided clarity for business owners, specifically in real estate. We are so thankful he has officially declared the Real Estate industry an essential service, and while at this moment in time we are not part of the "shelter in place", we are fully prepared if that comes along.
On behalf of the Tierra Antigua Family, we'd like to extend a big Thank You to the teams at ADRE & AAR for advocating on our behalf to ensure that our industry is protected!
Tierra Antigua has kept a robust FAQ going for our agents and we are going to continue updating it as questions come in.

It has always been our model and culture at Tierra Antigua Realty to work from home while receiving the full service that we provide to all our Tierra Antigua family. Thankfully, this will continue. At this time we are being proactive in our temporary situation in dealing with COVID-19 and doing our part to eliminate the spread of this virus along in accordance with the CDC, Arizona Medical professionals, and Government agencies.  

In our nature to go above and beyond to exceed expectations in good times and bad we will be temporarily closing all offices, which will be completely locked without access as long as the situation warrants. We will still have the ability to assist you in obtaining any items in your mailbox or deliveries with curbside service, however.  In order to do our part, staff will be working from home, with a small staff group working from the corporate office, to ensure that all commission checks continue to get processed same day. We will have the following options for agents to recieve commission checks:
1. We will conitnue to offer curbside service for pick-ups at the River / Campbell location with more information to follow. We are moving all agents mailboxes to our River office.
2. We will be mailing checks daily for all who prefer that. Our River office is located next to a primary post office which will allow for a quicker delivery. 
3. We will always do our best to work with everyone in unique situations as we always have in our Tierra Antigua family. We understand that this will take some flexibility on all of our parts and as family does, we will all pull together to ensure that we can conduct business as usual under the constraints that we are currently facing.  
Time is of the essence and our staff is here to help so please don't hesitate to call any of the offices or email anytime. You can call me directly on my cell phone anytime. 
More to follow and stay well.

FAQ’s for Realtors:

May I ask clients or others I interact with in my real estate business if they have traveled recently, or have any signs of respiratory illness?

Yes, you may ask clients or others about their recent travel, particularly to areas having an increased risk of coronavirus. To avoid potential fair housing issues, be sure to ask all clients the same screening questions based on current, factual information from public health authorities.

I typically drive my clients to showings. May I refuse to drive potential clients to see homes?

Yes. However, be sure that any change to your business practices is applied equally to all clients. You may refuse to drive clients who show signs of illness or reveal recent travel to areas of increased risk of coronavirus, or you may instead stop driving clients in your car altogether, and arrange to meet clients at a property. If you do continue to drive clients in your car, frequently clean and disinfect door handles and seat belt latches, ask clients to use hand sanitizer when getting in and out of your car.

What unique issues does coronavirus present to the real estate industry?

When an infectious disease, such as coronavirus, is associated with a specific population or nationality, fear and anxiety may lead to social stigma and potential discrimination. REALTORS® must be mindful of their obligations under the Fair Housing Act, and be sure not to discriminate against any particular segment of the population. While the coronavirus outbreak began in Wuhan, China, that does not provide a basis for treating Chinese persons or persons of Asian descent differently.
