Please tell your LX agent if you have tested positive for Coronavirus, present any COVID-19 related symptoms, have knowingly been in contact with a person confirmed with the infectious disease, or traveled outside the country in the last 14 days.

Visits and in-person activities with LX Costa Rica are restricted to the lowest number of people possible. In most cases, the LX team will work to limit property visits to 2 individuals: the potential client and the LX agent. In some cases, one other member of the potential client household may participate, and if they have an external agent representing them this can be coordinated separately prior to the visit.  Any other individuals, property inspectors or household members will either be limited to a virtual visit or require further programming.

If you have other property visits on the same day, keep in mind that we’ll program extra time between visits or showings in order to avoid possible overlap due to delays and to allow for enough time to clean and disinfect from prior visits. 

As always, communication is key.  Make sure that you stay in contact with your LX agent, keep them updated and follow the advice that they put forward. They will be able to explain their own procedures and how they are managing the safety for staff, clients and team.
