👉 The term "realtor-infection" is a metaphorical way to describe the risks and potential consequences that real estate professionals, particularly brokers or agents, may face when handling properties that are contaminated with infectious diseases. Just as an infected person can spread illness, a realtor who deals with properties contaminated by pathogens like mold, asbestos, or COVID-19 can inadvertently expose themselves or their clients to health hazards. This can lead to serious health issues, legal liabilities, and damage to the professional's reputation. To mitigate these risks, realtors must adhere to strict safety protocols, conduct thorough inspections, and stay informed about health regulations to protect both themselves and their clients.
