We"C I T O" them (Come into the office) before we go out to show them property.  There have been many bad things to happen to agents in North Carolina and I am sure that it is the same across the country.  We had a robbery go wrong last year and an agent was killed.  That has put us all on edge.  WE have a plan in place, that if we feel uncomfortble when out showing...WE call the office and ask for the "Tim MilamFile".  That is the danger alert signal that YOU need help.  The agent that answers the phone..gets as much Information from the agent who feels in danger.   WE are taught to give address " of the house we are going to see and see if the appointment has been set". The agent t... 08/29/2015

I am watching a program about Hurricane Katrina, on the Weather Channel.  I was absolutely astounded and what I saw.   There was so much of a lack of response to help those folks that were stranded in New Orleans.  They were desperate for food, water and shelter.  I can not imagine what they experienced. I live in a coastal community of North Carolina and I can not fathom that happening ot us here.   Eyes open now.. Ginger Harper 08/10/2009
