NORTHSHORE AREA BOARD OF REALTORS

Our mission is to be a proactive and progressive professional organization providing quality services of value to the REALTOR member and community of St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington Parishes of Louisiana. We invite you to learn more about the benefits of becoming a member of the Northshore Area Board of Realtors.

Here are the 10 commandments for agent safety:
1. Do not meet a stranger at any property. Instead, ask to meet at your office or in a public place so others can see the potential buyer too. Take a partner, like another agent or family member, with you, too.
2. Take your car. Avoid riding in a stranger’s car.
3. Avoid working after dark. Try to show property only during the daylight and close open houses before dark. If working after sundown is unavoidable, buddy up with a partner.
4. Dress for safety. Dress professionally and avoid wearing expensive, flashy jewelry. Do not carry large amounts of money with you.
5. Arrange a showing itinerary. Use a standard form and always leave a copy at the office or with a family member. Be sure to let the client knows that a copy exists, too.
6. Use a prospect ID form. Prior to showing a property, have a printed form that asks for a prospect’s information: name, address, auto make and model, auto tag, driver’s license, local address, and two references. Verify the information before you leave.
7. Use an agent ID form. Make sure your office knows your car's make and model and license tag, plus any other important contact information.
8. Set a coded distress signal. Be able to call the office or home with a message that appears harmless to a prospect but would serve as an alert to others that you’re in harm's way.
9. Stop working immediately if you pick up on something suspicious. If you notice inconsistent answers from your client, or any abnormal behavior, or anything that signals that something is off, stop working and trust your gut instincts.
10. Notify your broker immediately. The broker should decide what action to take at that time.
