I am so glad to by typing this without having to relay a horrible story about a Realtor who was attacked. However every year the National Association of Realtors sponsors Realtor Safety Week … it was last week so maybe I’m just a tad late on the information but really – is it ever too late to think safety?
We had a representative of our local police force come to our office today to talk about safety. Perhaps the single biggest thing you can do to be safe is to always be thinking ahead. Be thinking, for example, “What would I do if someone was behind that bush?” or “What would I do if someone is already in the house?” or “What would I do if a crazy person comes to my open house?”
By focusing always on
- Risk awareness
- Risk avoidance, and
- Risk defense
you my avoid the aggression before it starts.
Think safety always – whether you’re a Realtor, a convenience store worker, a teacher, a baker, or just a passerby who is reading this post!
