Ten Commandments for
REALTORS® Personal Safety
-
Never meet a stranger
or unqualified prospective buyer alone at any property. If possible, always
try to meet a prospective buyer at your office.
-
It is very important
that we in real estate act and dress professionally.
-
Always qualify your
buyer as best as you can; Is he who he says he is? Is he staying at a motel?
What is his car license number? (Leave this information at your office.)
-
While driving to and
from appointments, take the safest route and best-lighted streets (day and
night) and keep your car doors locked.
-
Do not wear expensive
jewelry or carry unusually large sums of cash on your person during house
showings.
-
Never hitchhike or pick
up hitchhikers, male or female. (Many female hitchhikers work in teams with
male counterparts.)
-
If you have any suspicion
about a buyer, NEVER meet them alone, day or night. Ask another salesperson
to accompany you to the showing.
-
Make sure that you advise
the people in your office of your schedule, either in person or by phone.
Make sure the prospective buyer is aware you have given the information
concerning him to your office.
-
Be aware of the neighborhood
in which you are showing a listing. If that neighborhood possesses any possible
threat to your personal safety, have another salesperson accompany you to
the showing.
-
Whenever possible, have
the owners of the listed residence personally notify the neighbors in the
area if they see any suspicious activity near the home and call the police
immediately.
