Safe Selling: The Timeline of a Crime

It's Realtor Safety Month, but safety concerns aren't just for agents in the field. Brokers have an important part to play in not only creating a culture of safety, but in educating agents on how to stay safe.

That's why we're running this video series on Realtor safety. Brokers should feel free to share these videos with their office, on their social media, in intra-office communications, and more.

In today's episode, we look at the timeline of a crime—which, surprise, happens well before a predator meets an agent in person. 

In the previous episode, we learned about the psychology of predators and the emotional cycle that drives them to commit a violent crime. Today, we're learning what that timeline looks like--from the initial selection to the research and fantasy stages all the way up to the attack. By understanding all the "pre-work" that occurs before a predator even contacts an agent, we can devise a plan to reduce the risk of an agent becoming a victim.

Stay tuned in the weeks ahead as this "Safe Selling" series continues to find out more about protecting your agents!
