Realtor Safety

• Statistics tell us that people whose business brings them in contact with strangers out of their office are at more risk than those who stay in the office.
• Meet at your office before showing property.  Take a picture, and send, of I.D. if you meet in the field.
• Obtain a photocopy of client driver license or photo I.D.  In addition, verify.
• Introduce client to co-workers.
• Tell office staff in front of client you will call the office periodically.
• Call your office upon arrival at each location as a safety check. If no one answers your call, fake it.
• Have a pre-planned code word for a distress signal.
• Take your own vehicle and ask the client to follow you in their car.
• Your office should have all your vehicle information.
• Do not pull into the driveway first, do not get blocked in.
• Carry your cell phone with you.
