Vermont Forward Plan – A Message from GMAR President Josh Lemieux
The real estate sector is considered a low contact sector and is included in STEP 1 of the Vermont Forward Plan.
Step 1 of the plan took effect on Friday, April 9, 2021.
Under the Step 1 plan, real estate professionals must:
- Comply with the state’s universal guidance. Click here to read the Universal Guidance
- Continue to wear masks and physical distance except when in the presence of household members
NOTE: VAR has developed a printable information sheet for Realtor® members to use as a reference for the Vermont Forward Plan and its implications for real estate.
Steps 2 and 3 (shown in graphic below) will be phased in between now and July 4. VAR will provide further guidance as those dates near.
Cross State Travel
Out-of-state buyers are allowed to travel to Vermont under the following conditions:
- All members of traveling party must have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19
- If not fully vaccinated, has everyone in your party tested negative within 3 days of arriving in Vermont?
Realtors® are no longer required to use the COVID-19 Real Estate Compliance Form. However, prior to buyers traveling from out-of-state to Vermont you are encouraged to ask two questions: 1) Has everyone in your party been fully vaccinated? 2) If not, has everyone in your party tested negative within 3 days of arriving in Vermont?
