Personal Safety Recommendations for Realtors

By Curtis Knight

As a real estate agent, you get phone calls from strangers, conduct open houses, travel to unfamiliar neighborhoods and interact with different people daily.

You may be tempted to compromise safety to make a quick sale, but it is important to be aware of the risks that go with the job. That means following proactive measures that will make it less likely of becoming a crime victim.

Curtis Knight, a Realtor and law enforcement officer, educates real estate agents about the risks they face and explains how to stay safe in this guide. Learn how to:

make yourself a less attractive target of crime;
conduct open houses in a safe manner;
screen potential clients before showing a house;
conduct sweeps of properties.

The author also shares tips on how to stay safe when working from home, how to make a quick escape when necessary, and explains why you should never park in a driveway during an open house or showing.

Keep yourself safe while staying on top of your sales game with this safety guide.
