The safety, health and well-being of our community is of utmost importance during this especially challenging time. We all play an important role in slowing the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and limiting the impact on real estate functions.
While the current health crisis has temporarily changed the way we do business, our commitment to collaboration and promotion for the advancement of the real estate industry across Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket has stayed in place.
We will continue to deliver news straight to your inbox as changes happen, bringing you new resources and benefits to help you through this time, and launching an array of virtual education options from CE webinars to industry updates to professional development seminars.

COVID-19 Forms
COVID-19 Addendum
The attorneys at the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® has been working diligently to provide our members with the most relevant information and resources as we navigate this pandemic. MAR has developed a COVID-19 Addendum that you may use to accompany real estate purchase contracts. This addendum addresses COVID-19-specific delays and allows for an extension to the time for performance.
This form is available for download and on our forms platform.
Short-Term Rental Cancellation Addendum
To assist our members brokering short-term rental contracts for stays beginning after May 4, the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® has developed a short-term rental cancellation addendum that may be attached to those lease agreements.
This addendum addresses deposits placed on those rentals, and what happens in the event the landlord is unable to provide occupancy or the tenant is unable to travel to the property to take tenancy as a direct result of the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.
