Being a real estate agent can be risky. Because a significant part of being an agent involves attracting and meeting with strangers, at least initially, real estate professionals are more vulnerable to criminals than those in many other professions. One of the best safety precautions agents can take is to preview a property and its neighborhood before doing a showing or an open house, he said.

1. Don’t get blocked in. Agents are most afraid when they are walking back to their car after an open house. Therefore, take a few minutes to make sure you have a clear line of sight to your vehicle.

“Before you exit your car, look around. Can you see the front door? Are there trees or shrubbery within 10 feet that can serve as a hiding place? When getting out of the car, keep looking around.

2. Meet the neighbors. There’s safety in numbers. Introduce yourself, point out your car, and invite the neighbors over to the open house. 3. Advise clients about valuables. Thefts often result in lawsuits against agents. To forestall this, develop a list of valuables clients should put away before an open house, including mail, jewelry, prescription drugs, extra sets of keys, and financial statements, among others.

4. Be aware and work in teams. The No. 1 place where agents are attacked during an open house is the front door, partly because lockboxes take time to open. If you are alone, turn your back against a wall to avoid being attacked from behind. Company is better, however. Sign up your affiliates, such as a home inspector or title officer, to sit the open house with you

5. Establish your escape routes. Walk around the house and notice how to get in and out of rooms. If there is a fence in the backyard with a gate, unlock the gate for easy exit. As another escape route, open the garage door but lock the door leading to the inside from the garage. Direct clients to the front door with signs.
