The most important tip of all

By
Real Estate Agent WV0026375

 

Back in June of this year I wrote a post, Lesson Learned - I should have gone with my instincts.  If you haven't read the post, please do. Seems the so-called buyers were looking for secluded homes and senior sellers.

 

What made me want to share the link to my post is because of a post I read today by Amanda Davidson, Safety Tips For Real Estate Agents.

 

Please read Amanda's post as she provides excellent safety tips for real estate agents or anyone in the business.

 

 

My husband now goes with me if a buyer calls wanting to see a house and I have not met s/he.  If he can't go, then I change the appointment.  Or, perhaps I could take my chocolate lab, Zeke. Like my husband, Zeke has a ferocious bark and is a great protector.

 

Seriously, please remember.............

This is a good reminder to maintain personal safety as a first consideration when making appointments.

Rebecca, thank you for mentioning my post. There have been a couple things happening in our area lately that made me write it. I'm so happy to hear your husband goes with you and think that Zeke would be great too if he can't be there. I take mine sometimes too. We always have to remain so vigilant!

Rebecca, you're spot on -- we must listen to our instincts and act accordingly, whether out hiking in the woods, walking along city streets, or meeting with unknown customers.

Yes, take Zeke if your husband cannot accompany you.  I had a agent who did same thing if she was a bit leary of caller

Hi Rebecca,
Many REALTORS® are too anxious.  You can never be too careful!  Thanks for the post!
