No. This is somewhat of a sore subject with me. I'm the only female agent in my office, and the men just don't get it. Keep in mind that I live in a rural area where we all tend to feel safe, and while hardly anything ever happens...you just don't know when something might happen.

Paul,

We did not, and like Endre Barath, Jr. no policy will save you.  Common sense and instincts will.  I had a chef call me  re a restaurant space wanting to make lunch for me at his home before seeing the building.  I said fine as long as my husband came along.  That ended the showing and the invitation.  LOL A
