Sign into your accountResources for Staying Safe During REALTOR® Safety Month and Beyond
September 03 2014
Real estate agents face unique safety challenges. Basic professional duties like showing vacant homes or meeting unknown prospects can make agents vulnerable. There are a number of basic precautions REALTORS® can take to stay safe, though. Just in time for REALTOR® Safety Month, we've rounded up tips, training, and mobile apps that can prevent the worst from happening.
Mobile Apps
Built-in GPS tracking makes your smartphone a powerful safety tool. The following apps let you contact and be accurately located by authorities and loved ones in case of an emergency.
- React Mobile - Notify a wide network of contacts about your location with one touch whenever you feel your safety is in danger. They'll then be able to track your location until you tap the app's green "I'm Safe" key.
- Guardly Safety App - Conference call, text, or email up to 15 safety contacts with one touch. GPS tracking, along with the ability to take and share photos of your surroundings, ensures pinpoint location if you're lost or abducted.
- MyForce - This subscription service has premium features like dimming your phone to avoid detection and recording audio and video of emergencies. Users can also set up "safe words" that help operators verify your situation and take action to help you.
