While this article is oriented towards buying and selling houses with a realtor, some of the advice given to realtors is of relevance to CFD style deals. The CFD open house practice of cramming in as many interested parties as possible is pretty much ruled out by the social distancing guidelines. Making sure that neither the owner, tenants, or visitor/potential buyers are free of virus issues is another workload issue. Finally, there’s a section discussing how to make virtual tours most effective, including blunders that hurt them.
The article does not discuss the various states or cities where lockdown rules might prevent using an open house in person method altogether.
