In dealing with potential clients and customers, it is imperative that the real estate professional’s personal safety when engaging in face-to-face interactions should never be compromised. Agents are encouraged to prioritize self-care, armed with emergency contact information, self-defense tools, mobile safety apps, and check-in procedures to guarantee their security during appointments.
By incorporating these measures into their routine, they can confidently pursue their career goals while establishing that every deal is not only financially rewarding but also conducted in a manageable manner to sustain success in the dynamics of a thriving real estate business.
Here are a few of the “safety toolkits” you can use for reference.
Door-to-Door
Private Property Awareness: Going onto someone else’s property introduces an element of unpredictability. Stay alert and maintain a cautious approach.
Open House
Crowd Management: Open houses can be bustling with activity but it’s essential to manage the crowd efficiently. Be prepared for potential one-on-one situations.
Consultations
Listing and Buyer Consultations: Many consultations take place at the property for sale or the client’s home. In these situations, being in someone else’s space requires extra caution.
