The COVID-19 crisis is unprecedented. We must do everything we can to help slow the spread of the virus. MetroList continues to closely monitor mandates issued by government leaders and public health experts at the local, state, and national levels. We are also following information and guidelines produced by the National Association of REALTORS and California Associations REALTORS.

Yesterday, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order that all individuals living in the State of California to stay home or at their place of residence unless engaged in certain "essential activities." The severity of this health emergency is calling upon everyone to do their part so that our health systems can meet the challenge that the virus has borne upon us.

We share in the grief being experienced in our MetroList and Real Estate Community family, our own communities and country. The MetroList Board of Directors and staff send our heartfelt prayers for a speedy end to this pandemic.

We have received a number of questions on a variety of issues. As the days and weeks go on we will do our best with answering your questions. Below are some of the answers to those questions.

Open Houses and Showings
The California Association of REALTORS has provided guidance on Open Houses and Showings which may no longer apply given the orders of the Governor, but we are providing them to you as an additional resource.

Lockboxes and Supra Key Service
EKey set up service will be handled remotely and we will accept DocuSign where necessary. Many, if not all, of the Associations have closed their physical offices; please contact your local Association to see how they are handling lockbox set up.

Days on Market/Hold Status/Active Status
There are several ways for you to treat your listing which will have different outcomes depending on the path you choose. As you and your seller consider which path you choose for your listing during this health emergency, click here for more details.

Virtual Open Houses
Should you choose to keep your listing Active we are allowing links for virtual open houses or home walk-through videos in the "Public Comments" field. You and your seller may consider using Facebook Live Stream to do a virtual Open House during the specified open house time slot.

We will continue to stay on top of the latest information and recommendations provided by the CDC and local public health officials and update you with any changes that impact our Subscribers. We encourage you to review the CDCs recommendations to help prevent the spread of COVID-19

The situation with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to develop and we know it’s having a significant impact on our subscribers and the community. In our efforts to help slow down the spread of the coronavirus and as we continue to monitor the COVID-19 health emergency, the MetroList Board of Directors and staff are adhering to the advice of our government leaders and public health experts.

We want to assure you that MetroList is well prepared to continue to provide you with access to the MLS.

Last week MetroList announced that it has temporarily suspended all In-Person Training classes and seminars and has created a section on the MetroList Information Center with links to reliable and credible websites with the latest on the Coronavirus.

Based on the latest advice and directive of the public health officials, yesterday we took the necessary action to reduce risks to our employees, the public and our essential service operations by instructing most employees to work from home.

Customer and Technical Support
Our technology and phone systems have been in place for years to allow our employees who interface with customers to work remotely. You will have no problems calling in and talking with any one of our departments.

Training
The MetroList Training Department has added additional live webinar classes to its schedule. These classes are easily taken from the comfort of your home. This time of working at home is a great opportunity to take advantage of our free training to help you learn something new about Prospector MLS or refresh some of your skills. Click here to sign up a live webinar. We have also added many prerecorded webinars and training videos for you to stream at your leisure.

Admin Centers
Admin Centers are operated by the various Association of REALTORS offices throughout the MetroList geographic area. Please be sure to check their websites and/or call their offices for any updates on their availability and office hours before coming into their office.

We will continue to stay on top of the latest information and recommendations provided by the CDC and local public health officials and update you of any changes that impact our Subscribers. We encourage you to review the CDCs recommendations to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

As you are aware, our country is in the midst of a public health emergency.  As we all struggle to understand the severity and reach of the Coronavirus, it’s important MetroList take steps to mitigate any harm to our Subscribers and staff.  To that end, MetroList has temporarily suspended its in person training classes and is switching to our online webinar platform.  In addition, the MetroList Training Department will be increasing the number of classes offered online.

MetroList is monitoring the situation closely and checking with the Sacramento Department of Public Health and CDC regularly.

In addition, MetroList continues to align with our overall disaster preparedness plan so our data and systems are always available.  In addition to safeguarding data, the MetroList leadership team is meeting regularly to assess any issues that may arise from this health emergency.  We will continue to keep you posted as the situation evolves.

Our goal is to support our community in its efforts to further prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to email us at feedback@metrolist.net.  We have also listed several reliable and credible websites that have posted up-to-date information about the Coronavirus.
