of crime involving rape and assault are reported every year and real estate agents are an easy prey for
these crimes with women as major victims though there are male victims too.
Real estate agents are very much vulnerable with criminals since the real
estate agents often make contact with different kinds of people and meeting
with strangers is part of the job. Activities such as driving around in the
car, meeting them and showing them the homes for sale might render the real

One technique for safety assurance
is to have the customers lead the way and not having them to walk behind you,
don't walk in corners such as a closet or the basement. It would also be smart
not to get in the elevator when you’re going to be alone with your customer of
client especially when doing moses lake
real estate for sale.
