Today, September 30th, is the last day of 2016 Realtor Safety Month.
I’ve just finished up 6 weeks on the road traveling across Florida bringing the message
of Real Estate Safety to our boards, associations, brokerages and more. Everywhere from Pensacola to Islamorada (and a whole lot of stops between!)
I’ll admit I’m a little exhausted, both physically and mentally. While the teaching itself does not tire me, in fact it invigorates me, the topic and some of the personal stories I heard from Realtors just like you are sometimes a little too much to handle. I’ll be sharing some of the stories I heard on the road with you over the next few weeks, but I will tell you it was from both men and women, and the “perpetrators” were both men and women too. Young, old, attractive, dirty… didn’t really matter.
One other part of this training that is draining is sometimes the lack of interest from agents (unless something has happened to one of us recently) and the low attendance at the classes. At the end of class I always hear the same thing… “my whole office should have been here, this was really important”
So I ask you, as we close out Realtor Safety Month 2016, what are YOU doing differently in your business and how can Safer Agent best help you reach your real estate goals while at the same time making sure you get home and sleep in your own bed tonight? Please let me know, either through an email to andy@saferagent.com, on our page on Facebook, or a quick phone call. We’re here to serve YOU.
