A Broker’s Day of Transactions in GCQ

TRANSACTING REAL ESTATE DURING GCQ
(General Community Quarantine)

Transferring  a real estate title during quarantine can be a hassle especially when Registry of Deeds among cities have different GCQ standards and there is not much advance information you can get. Normally, government offices are open even with skeleton forces, sometimes with employees alternating going to offices. In this case when we went there on June 11, 2020, a Thursday, 11 days after GCQ is enforced, this Mandaluyong RD is still closed and we gathered that will be open on June 16, Tuesday yet. Good that I have another transaction in Makati -- that is filing of my ITR (Income Tax Return) in BIR. We just have to keep a positive disposition and keep going. There is not much we can do with these government offices but do the best within our control -- how we deal with it.
