Your safety should always be a priority. Here are five common mistakes REALTORS® make that could put them in danger.
You Don’t Tell Anyone Where You’re Going
“Headed to a showing at 111 Main St. Should be back in the office by 4.” Send a simple text message like this to your broker, 配偶, or other trusted person so that if something happens and no one hears from you, they know where to start looking.
You Reveal Too Much Personal Information
Keep the small talk focused on the potential client you just met, 2021十大正规彩票app, and other topics unrelated to you. Someone who wants to buy or sell 2021十大正规彩票app doesn’t need to know where you live, 你家里有谁, 或者你在哪里度假. This advice applies to 社交媒体, too, where you can never be sure who’s seeing your posts.
You Leave Your Phone in the Other Room
You may think it’s fine to leave your phone in the kitchen while you show a property so you can focus all your attention on your client. But what if you need to call for help or someone steals it while you’re a few rooms away?
You Don’t Report Suspicious People
Don’t ignore uncomfortable situations because “nothing bad happened.” Reporting suspicious incidents raises awareness and can help prevent future attacks or other crimes.
你认为这不会发生在你身上
Maybe you work in upscale neighborhoods or conduct all your showings during the day. 没关系. Criminals work in all neighborhoods at all hours. 保持警惕,保证安全.

显示与否. 他们在上面
If you get into a bad situation, it may be to late. 不要冒险! Don’t meet a stranger unless your 100% sure it is safe. 如果可能的话,带上另一个人. 沟通是关键. Phone conversations that tell you they are legit. 你在哪里工作?? 你需要什么时候搬进来? May I get your 配偶’s email and phone number? Tell them you and another agent will meet them. If they hesitate on your questions, be careful! 如果你能到家的话 & your uncomfortable leave without meeting them. 给他们发短信,有事发生 & 你抱歉.… 阅读更多»
