The world of real estate is constantly evolving and with every evolution is is essential to be really, really careful. I worked in an area where a colleague was murdered in her vacant listing when her seller beckoned her over just before the walk through was to happen. This was someone she knew and had worked with and for the entire transaction. While this was years ago it is something I will never forget.
Right before I stopped working in the day to day listing and selling routine I had a call from a would be client who asked simply can we meet at the _________ property in about a half an hour? The guy sounded real and ready but I listened to that little voice I hear every so often and thought better of it. I indicated I was not available in half an hour and always met with new clients in my office first. If he was able to do that we could make an appointment. This sweet and ready to go client became agitated and it was then that I knew for certain that my little voice was right.
There is no amount of business or money that can ever be worth sacrificing your safety or well being. Oh, and for the record this is not just a woman thing, men are vulnerable as well. Be careful, be really really careful.
