Recommended Practices
Showings:
- Unless the request comes from a personal acquaintance, or someone referred to you directly from somebody you trust, we should never meet a stranger at a home for a showing unless we have first met them at our office (during office hours) or at a public place (if no one is at the office).
- We should request Identification from all prospective buyers, and provide copies of identification to our offices in accordance with our respective office policies.
- We should use the buddy system whenever we are unsure about a showing, and should make ourselves available to our colleagues if they should ever feel the need to take someone with them or feel unsafe.
- We should always follow our intuition, and never step into situations that we feel uneasy about.
- During showings, park your car in front of the property rather than in the driveway or in the garage, so that you avoid having your car blocked in.
- Let the prospect walk in front of you. Don't lead them, but rather direct them from a position slightly behind them. You can gesture for them to go ahead of you and say, for example, "The master suite is in the back of the house."
- Don't get cornered. Stand near an exit whenever possible. Make sure all deadbolt locks are unlocked for easy access to the outside.
Open Houses:
- Consider having someone join you for the open house, whether a fellow agent, a friend, or family member.
- Implement an Identification system for Opens that allows you to take a snapshot of visitors ID’s before allowing them access to the home.
- Always let someone who is not at the open house know what hours you are conducting your open house and have them check in on you from time to time.
- When the open house has ended, call your friend and let them know all is well.
General:
- We should all consider the nature of our personal marketing and be aware that our advertising may place us at increased risk of being profiled by potential perpetrators.
- We should respect and abide by the request from sellers who have selected the “Safe Showing” option for their property and only show these listings to properly “identified” buyers.
