What are some tips for staying safe when out showing clients or holding open houses?

  • Have prospective buyers walk in front of you at showings. Don’t let them corner you in areas such as the attic, basement or walk-in closets without windows or a second door.
  • Understand and know escape routes in all areas.
  • Don’t get into vehicles unless you have vetted out the prospective buyers. Learn about who they are by using social media, Google, LinkedIn, etc., and let someone know who and what is on your calendar on a daily basis.
  • Keep your phone charged and your gas tank filled.
  • Wear comfortable shoes that give you good agility and the ability to run/walk quickly if necessary.
  • Never meet a prospective buyer for the first time by yourself or in a vacant property. Meet at a coffee shop, at an escrow/title office, or some other public location.
  • Give yourself time to get to know someone before you invite them into your car, if you are working on your own.

If ever in emergency trouble, call 911 immediately.
