Realtor Safety Matters!
Stand Out With a Life-Saving Gift
Every profession has its hazards, and real estate is no exception. Meeting new clients, hosting open houses, and showing vacant properties can sometimes put real estate agents in vulnerable situations. While you may already know many of these safety tips, it never hurts to have a quick refresher!
The best strategy is to always stay in contact with your office, trust your instincts, and never put yourself in a dangerous situation. Being prepared and cautious can prevent many safety concerns before they even occur!
Quick Tips for Realtor Safety
Stay Connected — Always inform at least one personal contact and your office about your whereabouts.
Pre-Screen Clients — Avoid private showings with new clients unless you have already met them in your office.
Gather Client Information — Have clients complete an information form (name, driver’s license copy, and vehicle details) before an open house or private showing.
Bring a Buddy — If possible, bring a co-worker along when showing a property.
Stay Aware of Your Surroundings — Let the client walk ahead of you during a showing to avoid blind spots.
Survey the Area — Drive through the neighborhood before a showing or open house to identify potential safety concerns.
Know Your Exits — Identify all exit points and keep doors unlocked during a showing.
Learn Self-Defense — Taking a self-defense class can boost your confidence and prepare you for any situation.
Be Cautious with Transportation — Never allow a client to ride in your car unless you know them well.
Keep Valuables Hidden — Avoid wearing expensive jewelry and leave your purse in your car’s trunk.
Dress Professionally & Practically — Choose attire that allows for quick movement in case of an emergency.
Invest in a Safety App — Download a personal security app and keep your phone in hand at all times.
Carry a Defensive Tool — Consider carrying pepper spray or another defensive device for protection.
Trust Your Gut — If a situation doesn’t feel right, leave immediately. Your safety is more important than worrying about offending a client!
