A real estate professional often places themselves in situations of increased risk for violent crimes. Frequently they are alone in vacant homes with virtual strangers and are constantly introducing themselves to new people to generate business. Professionals in this industry not only work odd hours but are perceived to have great success by the clothes they wear and by the cars they drive, which leaves them vulnerable to become a prime target for criminals.

This course examines recent case studies and presents simple steps and safe practices for real estate professionals and their brokerages to implement, maximizing safety in all phases of their day and especially while showing properties, and hosting open houses, or evaluating REO properties.
