Do we ever look back at our life and say I wish I wasn't late for that meeting. Or do we look back at our life and say I'm glad I made sound and safe choices in regards to my safty so I can enjoy my family and we grow old together. Sometimes we just need to slow it down a notch. I find hurrying usually is a non productive process and rarely produces what it is trying to. Hurrying inturn shows me lack of preparation and sincerity in trying to do the task at hand.

Sometimes we just need to slow it down a notch. I find hurrying usually is a non productive process and rarely produces what it is trying to. Hurrying inturn shows me lack of preparation and sincerity in trying to do the task at hand.

When you frequently show a property and then one day something is out of place. I think we often remind our children of safety but sometimes forget to apply it to ourselves and with some many agents being attacked and worse killed we do need to have systems in place to prevent this as much as possible. Some great ideas in this post and will bring all to next office meeeting. Good Post!

I wouldn't have thought of locking the door to prevent someone else from coming in! It is sad, but here's another post from an agent who was prompted to write because someone in his area was attacked showing a vacant home over last weekend. <a href="http://www.realblogging.com/real-estate-trainingjots/managers-how-often-do-you-perform-safety-standown" rel="nofollow">Safety "standown"</a> Kathleen Hello Florida,

I think telling a potential client to meet you at the site instead of driving them is important also. Have you car in a way as for easy exit if need be. Carry you keys in your hand and push the panic alarm if need be on the car and draw attention. Notify the office of where you are and when you have left the property a good idea. Having mace spray a good idea also. Always have the buyer enter rooms first and never back yourself into a corner. If your gut feeling tells you something wrong ask to go to the car to get special info needed for the home. When ever you show a home have them come to office and get copy of drivers license and tag number. Don't trust anyone and let your guard down. A self defense course is not out of the question an I think all should take advantage of this. Dressing in a professional manner and keeping the conversation professional. When you enter a home lock door behind you so not to let a second person in an accomplice. It's sad to have to be so careful buy necessary.

Glad you found the article useful. There are crazy people out there, and agents are often in unusally vulnerable situations. So, I'm glad you're going to focus more on making sure you're safe!
