NAR passed along these tips from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution today. The Georgia Association of REALTORS® offers these safety reminders to professionals touring buyers into vacant and unfamiliar properties.
- Make a photocopy of the customer’s drivers license or passport.
- Write down a description of the client’s vehicle and license plate number and leave it where associates can find it.
- Leave a map of your route.
- Don’t park in the driveway in such a way that you can be blocked in.
- Let the client enter the home first and walk ahead of you.
- Don’t wear expensive or flashy jewelry and never carry large amounts of cash.
- Let someone in the office know when you arrive at the property and when you leave it.
- Be especially cautious about people who first try to circumvent the process by contacting the home owner directly.
