Realtor Safety 911

Below is a comment from a realtor and he mentions showing or previewing vacant homes; how a predator could be waiting there for you to show up. You have got to be careful. You could be in a upscale neighborhood and something bad could happen. As I mentioned earlier, you must follow procedures and stay in touch with your office, family and/or friends. If you are going to preview homes for a client, especially vacant homes, take someone with you. Let others know where you are going and how long you should be gone. Remember, Your Personal Safety Is Up To YOU!

Thanks for stopping by my site the other day, it lead me to your wonderful site! How refreshing to find someone dedicated to getting the word out about Realtor safety.

Another danger with vacant homes comes from possible predators lying and waiting for you in a house that you may preview or bring a client to.

I had a situation in Baltimore while showing vacant row homes to an investor. When we entered the home we saw a cell phone on the kitchen counter. Turns out, someone was hiding under the kitchen sink. We got out of their quick.
