Stay in good physical condition, appear confident, remain aware of your surroundings. Know how to quickly draw and use whatever weapon(s) you are carrying.

We can never be too careful. Yes I practice safety.
1. My office always knows where I am going
2. I get a call in the first few minutes of arrival so that I am able to alert of any trouble
3. We use a buzz word so that they know
4. I do not park in a driveway where I can be blocked in
5. I never go in the basement with a client I've met for the first time (if it is a man)
6. I never take clients in my car
7. I stay very attentive to body language
8. I trust my gut

I trust no one and my husband accompanies me on all showings now. I've had too many close calls and having him shadow me saved me, even from clients I worked with previously and with their wives and family in tow!!

LOL who works with unknown buyers??? Oh no, no, no..LOL!
I know every buyer I show property to.
I have their preapproval, their info and I've met with them at least once in my office.
LOL that is a funny question though, bravo!

ALWAYS. Even as a man, i bring a 2nd person to some vacant properties. I always back in so i can pull out. I always walk behind people or so that i can see them. I test doors before walking into a vacant home. I have pepper spray and a license to carry. It is not over kill as some one did try to rob me with a knife once in a 15 unit building, it didnt end well for them. Always better to be safe

The only thing I do is that if my client is a woman I keep my distance and never close any doors.

Yes, I usually work with referrals. In the event I work with a new buyer that is a stranger, I bring another agent with me.

Yes I do. If I feel uncomfortable at the first meeting (which is never at the property) I make sure I have my father go with me or another broker. I always let two or more people know who am I with or where I am going. Being a smaller stature woman I refuse to make myself an easy target!

Always. I am mindful of my surrounding. When I entered a home I lock the door behind me. I never show homes to people I don't know. PERIOD.

some of those stories are frightening.... nothing like that happens in "cow country" so we're good....my team members are listing agents, so I don't worry too much about that topic....

I don't ever meet with strangers away from my office. I never park in a driveway where someone can obstruct my ability to get away. I always lock the front door behind me once I enter a home with clients. I don't sit open houses where strangers come through who have not been vetted... and the list can go on.

You bet.
Never go alone. (Does this instruction need to be repeated?)
Have Sasquatch clear house first.
Sasquatch, after clearing, stays in sight but out side during showings.

Yes - either partnering with another agent to show for the first time or meeting them in the office first...after they've provided pre-approval also.

YES. I'm always closest to the exit in any room, phone in hand with my RealAlert app open, usually with a buddy present or I make phone contact during the showing and after.

If I don't know the "buyer" I listen to the conversation and if the hair on my neck stands up, I take someone with me, or decline the showing.

I do and I let other memebers know that if in doubt with a new buyer and a vate home to call me, and I will go along.

I highly recommend for everyone who has an iphone to keep Find Friends on, so your loved or trusted people know where you are at any moment. Also, research about a new client EVERYthing, use pipl, google, etc. etc.

I don't work with strangers. Almost all over our business is by referral. And if it's not we make sure to vet the buyer extremely well before we show any homes.

Yes, yes! Always meet buyers at office first, if I have not met them before. Copy ID, tell office where I'm meeting them, drive my own car. Go with another agent, if I am still anxious. Set timer in HOMESNAP app.
