Keep Your Head in the Game
If you ever played an organized athletic activity, no doubt you've heard a coach say to a player, "Keep you head in the game, nnff&$". (nnff&$ is a place holder for whatever term of endearment the coach had for your team.)
As brokers and agents, we have to keep our head in the game too. Personal safety is always something about which we have to be concerned, for ourselves and clients or customers with whom we are showing around.
Long ago I worked for a company that was very safety conscious. The sign below shows their main safety slogan.
So when showing a home I try to focus on the physical surroundings-
- Where should we step (head up and not on MLS sheet, phone, or tablet)
- Watch your head
- Point out steps inside the home
- Loose hand rails or stairs, toys or tools on the ground or floor
You get the idea. Some showings can be like walking through a mine field.
The video below is not about a showing malfunction, but it is about safety.
Be careful out there. And keep your head in the game.
