Realtors are given a "red card" which has the contact number and company that they are affiliated with. This red card serves as an alert to anyone that the circumstances and surroundings seem suspicious. The Realtor, when with someone they feel uncomfortable with simply passes this red card and hope that someone calls to alert the company of this.
When I show a home alone I always have the prospective buyer go in first ahead of me and I keep a distance following.
I am very aware of exits and make sure I'm aware of all doors that lead outside.
I always make cell calls touching base with the secretary/admin at work, or anyone else you can reach by way of cell.
If they see you making calls they know your are in touch with people and may be a deterrent to foul play.
I think it's always good to carry a can of mace just in case, an air horn would be good as well.
If you have any good safety tips to share please leave your comments.
