The Commercial Brokers Association has clarified that Governor Inslee’s March 27^th memorandum was directed to residential real estate transactions only, not commercial. 

In conjunction with their legal counsel, they have compiled a series of Commercial Real Estate Practitioner FAQs related to Washington state’s current “Stay Home Stay Healthy” order that went into effect on March 26, 2020. The FAQ also includes clarifications for commercial brokers related to the Governor’s memorandum regarding “Real Estate and Mortgage Guidance.”

Please be aware of this distinction and read through CBA’s FAQs for further clarification.
