How do you keep safe during showings?

Patty, you are so right about the beauty thing, I do see a few 10's out there. I was shown in one of my recent classes there is some kinda of app for your smart phone that monitors your location like GPS. I can't remember what is was, but maybe some other folks out there in AR land may know. Thanks for sharing.

I know this probably isn’t the first blog written about safety in our line of work, but it crossed my mind and I wanted to get some feedback from everyone.

If you really think about it, we put ourselves in a potentially dangerous situation every time we show a home. Most of my agents are very attractive women (and a couple of attractive men), and while we always keep tabs of who is going where, once the Agent is alone with the Buyer, anything is possible.

We obviously can’t do a background check on every potential Buyer, so how do you protect yourselves?

 

 

 

 

 

Help lots of people and have a great day!

I think it is important to keep your cell phone on you at all times.

Hi, Winston.   Good choice for a Re-Blog.

  You and Patty and I, live in Florida.  Florida allows concealed weapons permits; Florida has the "No Back Down" law. 

  Copies of Fake Driver Licenses, Cell Phone Alerts... not gonna stop an Assailant.

  Pepper Spray and Mace will only slow down a determined Attacker.

  You can get a Pizza delivered faster than 911 can respond.

  Get Armed, get Trained, know how to use your Gun.
