COAR members are now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine!

 So if I’m eligible right now, does that mean I’ll be able to get vaccinated right now? 

You may not be able to get an appointment immediately, given the currently high demand for vaccinations. However, we highly encourage you to pre-register for your vaccine, which holds your spot in line for scheduling an appointment. You can also try to find an appointment via a local pharmacy.

 How do I sign up to receive a vaccine?

The easiest and fastest way to be vaccinated is to pre-register for your vaccine at the mass vaccine clinic at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center at www.centraloregoncovidvaccine.com. Be sure to select the employment category that best matches your current role. When there’s a dose available for you, we’ll text and email you a link to schedule.

Some pharmacies are offering the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents. Appointment availability changes frequently. Check availability at https://vaccinefinder.org.

If you don’t have access to a computer, pre-register by phone. Call (541) 699-5109. Staff are available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on weekends. Please be prepared to wait on hold or call back as this line is experiencing high call volumes. Individuals who pre-register by phone will receive a call to schedule their vaccine appointment when a vaccine is available for them.

 I’m already pre-registered, what now? That’s great! Check your email regularly for your appointment scheduling link. This email will come from This email address is being protected from spambots.

 Vaccination information and the process for getting vaccinated is changing quickly. How can I stay informed about what the process is for getting vaccinated? 

You can stay up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccine distribution at www.deschutes.org/covid19vaccine. 

 I’m still deciding whether I will get vaccinated against COVID-19, and want to know more about vaccine safety and effectiveness. We understand that some people may have questions — this is totally reasonable. Fortunately, researchers have been working on vaccines for the coronavirus family for years, so they did not have to start from scratch. All three COVID-19 vaccines are extraordinarily effective at protecting you from getting COVID-19 and from getting seriously ill if you do get the virus. You can find answers to common questions here. Still not finding the information you are looking for? Visit the Oregon Health Authority or CDC websites for the most up-to-date information.

Guidance for Real Estate During COVID-19

All CDC recommendations and state guidelines concerning masks, handwashing, cleanliness and social distancing should be followed by clients and their Realtors.

Viewing Homes

1. Realtors and their clients must wear masks or other approved face coverings.
2. Six ft social distancing should be maintained between the Realtor and the party touring the home. 
3. Only one party should view a home at a time.
4. Members and their clients must follow any showing instructions listed in the MLS by the listing agent.  Listing agents need to be specific about what COVID protocols they wish to be followed. 

Note:  Please keep in mind that limited inventory is an issue in Central Oregon.  We want to make sure that those who list their homes right now are respected in the COVID19 protocols they request.

 Open Houses

1. Traditional Open Houses should not be held. 
2. If an open house must be held, it must be modified to ensure 6ft social distancing is met and limited to one party to tour the home at once.  Anyone waiting their turn to attend the open house, shall wait outside 6ft apart from each other.
3. In addition to this, Realtors should continue to follow additional safety and sanitation protocols.  View NAR’s Showing Guidance during the COVID 19 document.
4. We recommend virtual open houses or scheduling via appointment in place of traditional open houses. 
5. Based on the county's risk level, the following can be allowed in a house at the same time:

• Lower risk level: 10 people max, from no more than 4 households
• Moderate risk level: 8 people max, from no more than 2 households 
• High risk level: 6 people max, from no more than 2 households 

Traveling

If you have traveled outside of the state, it is recommended that you quarantine for 14 days before contact with others, unless you are vaccinated.

Complaints 

If you have a concern about a member or office's behavior, we suggest discussing with the Managing Principal Broker and if unsatisfied with their response, contact OSHA.
