Neighborhood Watch

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with AMG Executive Realty 01103109

Why is it that we don't see more neighborhoods implement the "Neighborhood Watch" signs in the area.  Is it difficult to get started?  Are we not communicating with our neighbors?  Is it that we only have time to just get the car started and get going to work and stop by Starbucks on our way??

I would think that more realtors need to be involve with the process and help the community stay safer.  It worries me to see all of the bad news about children being hurt by some stranger lurking in the neighborhood.

If this is to much to ask of a realtor to help with the project then my I suggest getting the neighborhood involved with the animal shelters and getting a dog to help protect the property.  They are the un-sung hero's.

My thoughts on "Neighborhood Watch".

I have heard some realtors suggest that a neighborhood NOT implement a Neighborhood Watch program (with the signs at the entrance to the area) as it may indicate to potential buyers that there is a crime problem in the area.

I think it shows community support!  And I agree, it is great when realtors get involved in their own community!  Great Post Adele!

I would like to get involved in starting a neighborhood watch too.  It has been on my To Do list for awhile.  Let me know if you have any suggestions.  Sincerely, Tami Condie LYON Real Estate

Good Post Adele.  I to am of the belief that Realtors should definetly get more involved in the community they work and this would be an excellant way.
