The Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu has issued a new Emergency Order adjusting the restrictions on some essential businesses including real estate.
The Order allows our real estate activities to take place, but with certain restrictions. You will notice that many of the restrictions have already been put in place, by the Honolulu Board of Realtors, as well as by our company. The Mayor’s Order takes effect today, Thursday, 4/30, at 4:30pm, and is in place until Monday, 5/18, at 4:30pm, until further notice.
In particular, we’d like to call your attention to some specific directives:
- In-person open houses are still prohibited.
- In-person appointments and viewings of the property are limited to “no more than three (3) people”.
- Showings are limited only to buyers who are “prequalified by remote means.”
We continue to monitor the situation, including watching out for new emergency orders from our Mayor and Governor. Please stay safe and follow all social distancing and public health guidelines.
