Sign into your accountRealtor Safety: How to Have a Safe Showing
September 25 2015
This month, we're publishing content from a course on Realtor Safety. This is the ninth in a series of articles that teaches Realtors how to prevent being a victim of crime. Read the previous article here.
Even though you have taken all the steps possible to ensure that the person you are meeting with is safe, you can never be 100% sure., That's why it's best to follow a safe showing routine.
Arrival and Parking
Arrive Early
Make sure that you arrive early enough to the appointment that you can prepare the home and be ready before the prospect arrives. Expect the prospect to be running early.
Parking
Generally it is best to park in the street where possible so the prospect can park in the driveway—and so that they cannot block you in. However, if you can't park in the street, the following are some guidelines according to driveway type:
- Straight 1- or 2-car driveway
- Head in or back in, depending on which way places the driver side door closest to your most likely escape path
- Park with the end of the car as close to the street as possible. It's best to have the edge of the car stick out a foot or so into the street if possible to prevent from being blocked in.
