I have always believed working a lead is not unsolicited interaction but it sounds like this government is out looking to make an example of some poor unsuspecting agent.

The wording seems to indicate they’re only prohibiting cold knocks. But you may be right. If one prospect sees it differently and reports the agent, it could be a definite problem.

I’m not one of these play it 100% safe by the rules kind of guys but this is the same state governor that literally banned real estate activity. It’s just a little bit crazy at this point.

I would say in this case any door knocking is prohibited based on past DOI rulings.
4 houses in my neighborhood sold at full price in days. Thats because there's zero supply as most sellers pulled their homes as their scared of virus tracing in their home and 30 yr mortgages are as low as 2.625%.

If you're a Philly agent (I know there are a few on here), don't get too excited about being able to start selling again F2F with restrictions this coming Friday (6/5). Wolf may pull a fast one:

Violence could prevent Philly from moving to ‘yellow’ phase of state’s coronavirus reopening plan
The Wolf administration left open the possibility that the violence that has erupted in Philadelphia following peaceful protests of Floyd’s death might impact its decision to move the city into the yellow phase at the end of this week.
“The decision to move Philadelphia to the yellow phase will be made in coordination with state, county and health officials to determine if the county is ready to move," Wolf spokesperson Lyndsay Kensinger said in a statement.
Administration officials would not give any further details, except to say that the governor’s priority is “the health and safety of Pennsylvania residents.”

@Northeast Agent how are you holding up?
I've been mostly working my current book of business, but I have also been seeing my clients in person. Have you had some success navigating your state's requirements?
