TOP SAFETY TIPS FOR REALTORS®
Ensure your safety during property showings with these essential REALTOR® safety tips. Learn how to stay secure while meeting new clients and showing homes.
As a REALTOR®, your safety is paramount, especially when meeting with new clients and showing properties. Implementing the right safety measures can help ensure secure and stress-free property showings. Follow these REALTOR® safety tips to safeguard yourself during every step of the process.
- Keep It Light: Show properties before dark. If you must show a property after dark, turn on all lights and let someone know your schedule.
- Checking In: When you have a new client, ask him/her to stop by your office and fill out a Prospect Identification Form (found online at NAR.realtor/safety).
- Don't Be Too Public: Limit the amount of personal information you share. Don't leave personal information out in the open. Consider advertising without a photo, home phone number or address.
- Touch Base: Always let someone know where you are going and when you will be back. Have a check-out employee board at your office, listing important client and location information.
- Open House; It Ain't Over Til It's Over: Don't assume that everyone has left at the end of an open house. Have a partner help you check the property prior to locking the doors and leaving.
- Stranger Danger: Tell your clients not to show their home by themselves. Advise them to refer all questions to you.
- Wear Your REALTOR® ID: Always wear visible company identification, like a badge, and always carry your photo ID on you.
- Bring Up The Rear: When showing a home, always have your prospect walk in front of you.
- Pick Up Some Self-Defense Skills: When in a dangerous situation, escape the immediate danger and call for help. To keep yourself safe, consider picking up self-defense skills.
- You Take the Wheel: Do not drive clients in your car. Instead, have them meet you at the property. Be sure to always lock your car!
