RI REALTOR Safety Alert
I spoke with a client in Rhode Island this week who alerted me to a situation where a guy was posing as a potential buyer as a means to meet up with female REALTORS. Red flags were immediately raised and she felt uncomfortable. This was followed up by a couple of strange voice mails. She came to find out that he had been contacting another young female agent as well. We hear stories everyday of crazy and disturbed people. Female REALTORS can be seen as easy targets. Lets make sure we are aware of safety concerns for our colleagues and take steps to prevent potentially dangerous situations. never meet a client for the first time at a vacant property avoid visiting vacant properties like foreclosures alone, there may be potential squatters meet with unknown potential buyers in public places if you feel uncomfortable with a situation please report it to the police Visit NAR’s safety field guide for more tips and strategies to keep your office safe.

Look to build relationships not sell houses. 2. Linking. I see so many updates about a new listing and there is either no link to more information about the listing or it links to another site like a postlets, trulia, realestatebook.com etc. If you are going to post new listings to your facbook page, link them back to your website or your companys website. 3. Maintain a professional image. If you want to be trusted with major life decisions then do not act a fool on facebook. Don’t post photos of how intoxicated you are, don’t check in from the beach everyday in the summer etc. Facebook should be more personal than business but you need to maintain the image of a professional.
